A confocal-controlled Raman-LIBS hybrid microscope with high stability and spatial resolution

Abstract

Probing elemental and molecular structural information with a high spatial resolution is a key bottleneck in determining unknown minerals in the fields of geology and space exploration. Untraditional confocal controlled...

Atomic spectrometry update – a review of advances in environmental analysis

“…However, it was recognised that a combination of the two techniques was preferable to provide a rapid classification of geological materials with different compositions. In an interesting development, Zhao et al 210 proposed a confocal-microscopy-controlled Raman-LIBS hybrid method with high spatial resolution and anti-drift properties. The axial-focusing resolution and lateral resolution for morphological imaging were ca.…”

Atomic spectrometry update: review of advances in atomic spectrometry and related techniques

“…A confocal controlled Raman-LIBS hybrid microscope with high spatial resolution and anti-drift properties was developed by Zhao et al 112 to improve the analysis of unknown minerals. The approach combined Rayleigh scattering, reflected light, LIBS signal, and Raman spectra to simultaneously determine geometrical topography and elemental and molecular structure.…”
