Confocal Raman Microscopy in Forensic Pharmaceutical Investigations

Scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (SEMEDS) and Fourier-transform infrared microspectrophotometry (micro-FT-IR) have been widely demonstrated as complementary analytical tools for the identification of complex mixtures and unknown materials. However, there is a gap between the information provided by these two techniques.
