Overview

The book provides a practical guide to important and frequently encountered techniques in Raman spectroscopy. It comprises a valuable working reference as well as a useful introduction to the technique; emphasis throughout the book is on advice from experienced workers in the subject. The theoretical content of the book has been kept to a minimum and chapters dealing with instumentation, sample handling, data aquisition and analysis, calibration, and microscopy are treated to emphasise the practical aspects of the various branches of the subject. Tables of useful data are included.
