Abstract
A compact spectroscope is sufficiently lightweight for use in combination with a microscope for analyzing samples using Raman analytical techniques. The Raman spectroscope includes a housing detachably mountable to the microscope. The housing contains at least one source of radiation. One or more filters are positioned at desired angles across the beam path provided by the source of radiation. The spectroscope includes a variety of components operatively connected to source of radiation capable of providing one or more Raman beams, as well as a variety of components for processing beam constituents for microscope analysis. A fiber optic probe is provided for examining large samples or samples at remote sites. A computer or other electronic reader may also be attached to the Raman spectroscope for viewing analytical data.
