3D-Analysis of Microstructures with Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy

The measurement of micro components and microstructures leads to special requirements of measuring gauges. State-of-the-art Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopes (LSM) are suited to meet these requirements. The paper shows examples of effective and accurate analyses of micro tools, micro components, and micro structures with a LSM. It becomes clear, that measurements with a confocal LSM lead to v...

Polarized Raman confocal microscopy of single gallium nitride nanowires.

Polarized Raman spectra and corresponding Raman scattering intensity images of an isolated gallium nitride nanowire with a diameter of 170 nm are presented. The sensitivity of the confocal microscope combined with a high-resolution piezoelectric stage enables analysis of the crystalline phase and crystallographic orientation of an individual nanowire with an excellent spatial and spectral resol...

Characterization of Developing Cotton Fibers by Confocal Raman Microscopy

Cellulose deposition in developing cotton fibers has been studied previously with analytical techniques, such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Recent technological developments in instrumentation have made Raman microscopy emerge as an extraordinary analytical tool in biological and plant resea...

Composition of bovine milk fat globules by confocal Raman microscopy

Confocal Raman microscopy was used to determine the chemical fingerprint of individual bovine milk fat globules of different sizes and from milk sourced from different breeds. No detectable level of triglycerides was found in the small milk fat globules of 1 mm diameter or less in size. These small fat globules also delivered information about the lipids of the milk fat globule membrane. In add...
