WITec’s 15th annual Confocal Raman Imaging Symposium will take place on September 24–26 in Ulm, Germany.
WITec’s 15th annual Confocal Raman Imaging Symposium will take place on September 24–26 in Ulm, Germany. At the event, chemical characterization and imaging members of the Raman microscopy community share recent developments, and discuss the finer points of Raman microscopy.
The symposium is a forum for scientists from academia and industry of various levels of experience and areas of application. The conference schedule includes talks, poster sessions, instrument demonstrations, and social events designed to foster the transfer of knowledge and experience between the attendees.
Sessions on nanotechnology and low-dimensional materials, geosciences, materials sciences, life sciences, and pharmaceutical analysis will provide an overview of Raman microscopy applications. Attendees will also see extensive coverage of the latest developments in Raman instrumentation and technology.
In a Monday evening lecture, German physicist and science comedian Vince Ebert will offer a humorous look at science with a talk titled “Randomly Successful–The World is Not Predictable.”

FT-IR Analysis of pH and Xylitol Driven Conformational Changes of Ovalbumin–Amide VI Band Study
November 21st 2024This study uses Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy to analyze how the globular protein ovalbumin's secondary structures transition under varying pH conditions in the presence of the cosolvent xylitol, highlighting the role of noncovalent interactions in these conformational changes.
