Raman microscopy combined with chemometric analysis enables precise, non-destructive characterization of cellulose sheets, determining crystallinity, amorphous content, and distinguishing cellulose I and II for optimized quality control.

Raman spectroscopy is an essential tool for the characterization of semiconductors. However, Raman spectroscopy's spatial resolution is limited by the diffraction limit to about 200-300 nanometers, which can be insufficient for analyzing the increasingly smaller features of modern electronic devices.

Understanding how and why batteries degrade over time is essential for improving design and lifecycle performance.
In this webinar, explore HORIBA’s approach to ageing studies using µRaman, GD-OES, and SEI for both in-situ and ex-situ diagnostics. See how we map SEI growth, detect oxide formation, and follow structural changes in electrodes to predict performance decline and inform better material and process choices.

Raman microscopy has become an essential tool for semiconductor research and manufacturing, offering non-destructive, highly precise insights into material properties. From strain analysis to defect detection and full wafer mapping, Raman and photoluminescence microscopies help engineers tackle the complexity introduced by new semiconducting compounds such as wide band gap and two-dimensional materials. In this webinar, we’ll show how Raman analysis supports process optimization and qualification, quality control and process deviation diagnostics.

Join us to learn practical strategies and see real-world examples of Raman & photoluminescence in action.

Crystallinity and material structure are key to maximizing battery energy and power density. HORIBA’s µRaman and QCarbon tools offer direct access to carbon ID/IG ratios and coating uniformity, while GDOES reveal elemental depth profiles. This webinar guides you through essential characterization techniques for both carbon-based and cathode materials, empowering better design and quality control for next-gen batteries.

Surface and interface studies need complementary analytical techniques, like GDOES and Raman, to provide elemental profiles and molecular insights on multilayers of various depths. This webinar illustrates this complementarity by showing selected results on polymeric coatings, anodic films, batteries, coatings on glass and DLC coatings.

TERS gives the vibrational information of a sample with nanometric resolution. Obtaining physico-chemical information with such resolution opens up possibilities to characterize materials at unprecedented levels, which allows research findings unsuspected until recently. This lecture introduces the fundamentals of TERS through the history of near-field spectroscopic optics.

Raman spectroscopy is a powerful tool for exploring skin structure, molecular composition, and the behavior of active compounds. Recent ex vivo studies, including the quantification of actives in various skin models and the mapping of cosmetic formulations within the tissue, have provided key insights into molecular-level skin interactions. This webinar will examine how validated ex vivo methodologies can be adapted to the complexity of in vivo skin analysis, providing practical strategies to make this transition.

This study highlights particle correlated Raman spectroscopy (PCRS) as a powerful technique for combining particle characterization with chemical identification, enabling deeper insight into drug performance across various pharmaceutical dosage forms (sprays, tablets, creams).

Raman spectroscopy enables precise, non-destructive stress analysis in 4H-SiC semiconductors. This study shows how peak shifts in Raman spectra reveal stress variations from surface treatments like cutting, lapping, and CMP—supporting quality control and process optimization in electronics.

Due to rising global polymer demand and pollution concerns, understanding polymers at the molecular level is vital. This webinar explains polymers, analysis methods, and highlights Raman spectroscopy’s strengths—identification, polymerization monitoring, crystallinity assessment, defect detection, and more—using real-world examples to turn complex data into actionable insights.

Sugar, a widely consumed dietary ingredient, is present in numerous food products, including desserts and beverages. Its production involves several stages—extraction, purification, crystallization, and drying—each presenting potential contamination risks from plastic-based equipment and packaging. In this work, we demonstrate the typical workflow for microplastics analysis using Raman microspectroscopy.

In this webinar, we will discuss the latest developments in microplastics analysis, the existing protocols for monitoring contamination in food and air, and HORIBA’s contributions to advancing this field.
