[High definition Raman microscopic imaging]. Progress report, May 1, 1992--June 30, 1993

Confocal Raman microscopy was developed and used to study molecular sulfur inclusions in glass pellets. The Raman spectrum of water was used as a noninvasive temperature probe in operating electrophoresis capillaries. A macro-scale imager was used to image water Raman scattering using 30 mW 532 nm; it can be used to map boundaries, impurity distributions, and morphological changes in polymers and ceramics. A holographic beam splitter was obtained. Surface-enhanced Raman spectra was obtained from inside zebra fish embryos as a model system. Future research plans are given.
