Raman laser spectroscopy C016 / 3827
Raman laser spectroscopy. Researcher observing laser beams and microscope objectives. This LabRAM HR Raman laser spectrometer is being used to obtain phase and structural information for catalysts used in the thermochemical conversion process. It can also examine catalysts during the reaction process. The Raman effect, discovered in 1928, concerns the scattering of light by molecules. The resulting Raman spectroscopy is a powerful method of analysing molecular structure.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a researcher engrossed in the world of Raman laser spectroscopy. With intense focus, he observes laser beams and microscope objectives through his protective goggles. The LabRAM HR Raman laser spectrometer before him is a cutting-edge instrument used to unlock phase and structural information for catalysts involved in the thermochemical conversion process. Located at the Biomass Surface Characterization Laboratory (BSCL) within the renowned National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, Colorado, this image showcases the intersection of human intellect and advanced technology. The scientist's expertise lies in harnessing the power of Raman spectroscopy, an analytical technique that emerged from the discovery of light scattering by molecules almost a century ago. In this laboratory setting, catalytic materials are meticulously examined during reaction processes using green lasers emitted by the spectrometer. This enables researchers to delve deep into molecular structures with precision and accuracy. By unraveling these intricate details, scientists gain invaluable insights into catalysis and materials science. The photograph itself was taken by Pat Corkery as part of NREL's documentation efforts for scientific purposes only—no commercial use intended or mentioned. It serves as a testament to both human curiosity and technological advancements that continue to drive progress in fields such as physical chemistry, physics, environmental science, and beyond.
