- Full optical microscope so you can see your samples
- Maximum detail, resolution and range for enhanced spectroscopy
Raman Spectroscopy is a non-destructive chemical analysis technique which provides detailed information about chemical structure, phase and polymorphy, crystallinity and molecular interactions. It is based upon the interaction of light with the chemical bonds within a material. The Green laser light of 532 nm used for the analysis. It consists of three eye pieces with three different magnifications (10X, 50X and 100X). The Height of eye piece can be varied to do mapping analysis. Real time Display (RTD) is used to analysis the insitu reaction of the sample. The Thickness of the coated surface can be analysed using this instrument.

Study of phase transitions, absorption, adsorption, desorption; chemisorption, thermal decomposition and solid-gas reactions. Heat flow into or out of a sample.
- Thermogravimetric analysis or thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) is a method of thermal analysis in which the mass of a sample is measured over time as the temperature changes. This measurement provides information about physical phenomena, such as phase transitions, absorption, adsorption and desorption; as well as chemical phenomena including chemisorptions, thermal decomposition, and solid-gas reactions.
- Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is a thermal analysis technique in which the heat flow into or out of a sample is measured as a function of temperature or time, while the sample is exposed to a controlled temperature program
