Calibration and Validation of Raman Instruments What does it mean, and do I have to? Overview   Within our series of papers on harmonisation in Raman spectroscopy, we continue to describe how the calibration and validation of Raman data is achieved. Raman Spectroscopy is a very powerful technique for [...]

The Need of Harmonisation in Raman Spectroscopy?

2024-01-26T11:17:43+00:004 January, 2022|

The Need of Harmonisation in Raman Spectroscopy? CHARISMA - a European initiative to normalise industrial use of Raman - by Dr Enrique Lozano Overview   Raman spectroscopy is a technique that involves scattering of monochromatic light, first observed by Sir C.V. Raman (i), after whom this technique is named. [...]
