Particle Filter Material Choice For Raman And FTIR Microscopy


The filter material to analyze particulate matter with Raman or FTIR microspectroscopy plays a vital role. Their simple task is to filter liquids to isolate solids onto filters – but as soon as you introduce spectroscopic methods, the requirements on the filter increase drastically. But let’s start at the beginning: Which filters are at our disposal, and how do we select the right one for... » read more
