Spectroscopy

Decipher the chemical and structural fingerprints of matter. This section covers spectroscopy techniques such as X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Raman Spectroscopy, and related methods. Find guides on principles, sample preparation, and data interpretation to study crystal structures, identify phases, and understand material composition.

  • XRD, SEM & Raman: The Ultimate Trio in Space Research

    BySuman

    A powerful trio of analytical techniques—XRD, SEM, and Raman spectroscopy—acts as our remote laboratory, transforming raw celestial material into profound discovery. This is the inside story of how these instruments on NASA’s rovers and landers are rewriting textbooks, revealing ancient waters, and hunting for the chemical fingerprints of life beyond Earth.
