Talk on Raman Studies of the Tyrolean Iceman a Highlight of Upcoming Confocal Raman Imaging Symposium
The 11th Confocal Raman Imaging Symposium, hosted by WITec, will include a talk by Albert Zink from the EURAC-Institute for Mummies and the Iceman about Raman investigations of the Tyrolean Iceman.
The 11th Confocal Raman Imaging Symposium, hosted by WITec, will include a talk by Albert Zink from the EURAC-Institute for Mummies and the Iceman about Raman investigations of the Tyrolean Iceman. The symposium, taking place September 29–October 1 in Ulm, Germany, will cover various aspects of modern Raman microscopy, and provide insights into confocal Raman imaging and its applications.
Other symposium speakers include experts in Raman spectroscopy from academia and industry. The talks will highlight a range of Raman spectroscopy applications in life science, nanotechnology, materials science, graphene research, and climate research.
Technical talks about the general principles, microscope configurations, and resolutions will also be featured at the symposium. Further conference highlights include contributed talks and a poster session, to which all attendees are invited to submit their abstracts, the conference dinner with the best poster award ceremony, and a demonstration of WITec’s new RISE Microscope for correlative Raman imaging and scanning electron microscopy.
Scientists Unveil Better Mixing Rule for Absorption Spectroscopy of Aerosols and Colloids
June 16th 2025Researchers have introduced a simple yet powerful new rule based on Rayleigh scattering theory that accurately links the absorption behavior of composite media, like aerosols or colloids, to the properties of their nanoparticle constituents.
Short Tutorial: Complex-Valued Chemometrics for Composition Analysis
June 16th 2025In this tutorial, Thomas G. Mayerhöfer and Jürgen Popp introduce complex-valued chemometrics as a more physically grounded alternative to traditional intensity-based spectroscopy measurement methods. By incorporating both the real and imaginary parts of the complex refractive index of a sample, this approach preserves phase information and improves linearity with sample analyte concentration. The result is more robust and interpretable multivariate models, especially in systems affected by nonlinear effects or strong solvent and analyte interactions.
