Workflows for correlative SEM Raman imaging: from morphology to molecular insights

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS/EDX) analysis are powerful techniques for materials characterisation. However, SEM and EDS/EDX analysis is often insufficient for complete sample understanding. Raman spectroscopy provides complementary information to SEM imaging. Raman spectra contain information on structural and chemical bonding, which is essential for identifying organics or differentiating polymorphs.

In this webinar, we will demonstrate practical workflows for the simultaneous acquisition of Raman spectra and images inside a SEM chamber. Using the inLux™ SEM-Raman interface, simultaneous SEM and Raman analysis offers precisely co-located information on morphology, elemental composition and bonding. Discover how you can gain a comprehensive understanding of your samples at multiple length scales.

You will learn:

• The benefits of a fully integrated SEM-Raman imaging
• How we implement simultaneous Raman and SEM analysis
• A recommended workflow for combined SEM, EDS and Raman imaging
• How to use WiRE™ software’s tools to detect and identify chemical species
