Development of Transmission Raman instrument with spatially resolved Fourier Transform Spectrometer

传输拉曼已成为许多行业潜在的令人兴奋的工具，如制药、假冒检测和化学分析。透射拉曼的主要优点是它允许检测整个样品，而不是表面的特定区域。这种批量测量可以更准确地确定样品的分子组成，并降低潜在致命错误或产品质量不佳的风险。大多数现有的光谱仪只能测量很小的区域(平板电脑只有6毫米)。这个可行性项目将调查一种新型光谱仪是否可以在更大面积的样品上进行透射拉曼测量。光谱仪将首先确定这一概念是否可以进行透射拉曼测量，然后确定是否可以测量更大面积的目标样品，这在许多潜在市场都是一种阶段性的发展。

Transmission Raman has become a potentially exciting tool in many industries, such as Pharmaceuticals, counterfeit detection and chemical analysis. The primary advantage of transmission Raman is that it allows a whole sample to be examined rather than a specific area on the surface. This bulk measurement allows for more accurate determination of the molecular composition of the sample and reduces the risk of potentially fatal errors or poor product quality. Most existing spectrometers only measure small areas ( 6mm for tablets). This feasibility project will investigate if a novel spectrometer can make transmission Raman measurements over a larger area of a sample. The spectrometer will be adapted to firstly determine if the concept can make transmission Raman measurements and secondly if a larger area of a target sample can be measured, a step-change development in many of the potential markets.
