The confocal Raman spectrophotometer is an advanced analytical instrument that combines Raman spectroscopy with confocal optical microscopy, enabling highly sensitive, non-destructive chemical analysis with excellent spatial resolution. The technique is based on Raman scattering, where monochromatic laser light interacts with molecular vibrations, resulting in scattered light with characteristic energy shifts. These shifts provide a unique molecular "fingerprint" that can be used for qualitative and quantitative analysis.

Targeted Trainees

The workshop is intended to provide the basics of the Raman spectrophotometer to participants, along with instrumentation and practical experience in some of its applications. The training programme covers topics including the fundamentals of Raman spectroscopy, instrumentation and components, sample preparation and handling, data acquisition and processing, and Raman mapping and imaging.

Eligibility

Postgraduate students, PhD scholars, and other researchers from research institutions, colleges, and universities.

Selection Procedure

"First-come, first-served" basis in the order of registration.
