Dr. David Steinmetz, Director of Applications & Support, WITec GmbH

3D confocal Raman imaging is a powerful, versatile and increasingly common microscopy technique, capable of quickly identifying the molecules in a sample and visualizing their physical distribution. This nondestructive and label-free method has enormous potential for researchers in life sciences, food science and pharmaceuticals, among many others.

In our upcoming webinar, Dr. David Steinmetz will introduce the fundamental principles of the Raman effect on which the technique is based, detail the associated hardware and software, describe several of its variations and provide relevant application examples. The capability, utility and accessibility of confocal Raman imaging will also be demonstrated, before a live question and answer session.
