Confocal Raman Microscopy This second edition provides a cutting edge overview of physical technical and scientific aspects related to the widely used analytical method of confocal Raman microscopy. The book includes expanded background information and adds insights into how confocal Raman microscopy especially 3D Raman imaging can be integrated with other methods to produce a variety of correlative microscopy combinations. The benefits are then demonstrated and supported by numerous examples from the fields of materials science 2D materials the life sciences pharmaceutical research and development as well as the geosciences.
