Raman Revealed overview

Course overview

Raman Revealed is a highly interactive, three-day course that combines tutorials and discussions with hands-on learning. You will collect Raman data on the inVia^TM confocal Raman microscope and then analyse it using the latest WiRE^TM software. By the end of the course, you will understand the optimum analytical approach to use for your samples.

Note: The course is intended for attendees with a reasonable understanding of spectroscopy and we recommend that you have at least six months' of experience using a Renishaw Raman system before attending this workshop.

Day one:

• Walkthrough of the inVia Raman microscope and spectrometer.
• Sample preparation and dealing with uneven sample surfaces.
• Sample imaging using white light microscopy.
• Collection of point Raman spectra.
• Understanding instrumental and experimental parameters for effective data acquisition including laser wavelength, laser power, grating, objective, and acquisition time.

Day two:

• Collection of Raman map data.
• Fast Raman imaging techniques, StreamLine™ and StreamHR™.
• Data processing techniques including cosmic ray removal, baseline subtraction and truncation.
• Data analysis including curve fitting.
• Spectral library searching and creating libraries.

Day three:

• Creating Raman images with univariate and multivariate analysis.
• An afternoon session with the opportunity to discuss your own samples and data with application scientists.

Duration

The training workshop will run for three days, Tuesday - Thursday, 8.30am - 4pm. However, the final afternoon (Thursday 1pm - 4pm) will be optional to attend and will involve specific applications support and dedicated discussions with applications scientists about your own samples, workflows and additional software features.

Price:

£1500 for all three days.

The price includes course materials, lunch, refreshments and a certificate of attendance. Travel and accommodation are not included.

Location

The workshop will take place at Renishaw's UK headquarters in Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire, for more information click here.
