Description

An analytical technique used to characterize pigments and some organic materials. Raman spectroscopy was discovered in 1928 by an Indian physicist, C.V. Raman. It measures the shift in wavelength that occurs when a material scatters monochromatic light. Raman spectroscopy provides information of the internal vibrational motion of a molecule.
