IR and Raman spectroscopy are powerful analytical techniques to detect, discriminate and identify material on a molecular level. In particular Raman spectroscopy offers some advantages when applied to art and archaeology as well as earth sciences.

Raman microscopy has evolved into a common method for fast and non-destructive analysis of microscopic samples in forensic and R&D laboratories as well as for troubleshooting in the field of quality control. Samples ranging from art & archeology, materials science, biology, pharmacology to polymers and plastics can be investigated.
