The National Science Foundation (NSF) has funded the aquisition of a new Horiba Labram HR Evolution confocal Raman microscope for the Bureau as part of their Major Research Instrumentation Program. The instrument will be equipped with a 532 nm laser and a 266 nm UV laser and be compatible with a variety of experimental stages including a Linkam fluid inclusion heating/cooling stage and a hydrothermal diamond anvil cell.

See an article posted on the NMT website for more information about the capabilities of the new instrument.

We are seeking PhD candiates who have experience with Raman spectroscopy.
