Abstract
Several research activities in the Laboratório de Espectroscopia Molecular, Instituto de Química, Universidade de São Paulo, LEM/IQ-USP, are related to infrared and Raman spectroscopy. Coupling of optical microscopes to infrared and Raman spectrometers provides to vibrational spectroscopy the spatial resolution of the order of micrometer or below micrometer, then combining molecular struc…
