The Labram Dilor Raman micro-spectrometer operates in a back-scattering configuration and is confocally coupled to a microscope. The microscope (BX40, Olympus) allows for the selective analysis of samples at the micrometer scale. Its various objectives enable the selection of different sample areas and the analysis of different depths, such as in multi-layer samples, thanks to their varying numerical apertures.
