Spectroscopy and Machine Vision Solutions

Unlike NIR spectroscopy, where water can be a considerable interfering factor, water is not a problem for the Raman spectroscopy. Both spectroscopies can be complementary in terms of possible applications: given a certain practical case, the results achievable by both technologies have to be compared in order to select the most suitable one, as the factors to be considered are not only metrological.

However, a number of applications of Raman spectroscopy are listed below:

• Characterisation of crystallisation processes.
• Control of the polymerisation process.
• Identification of components.
• Hydrogenation reactions.
• Quantification of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in low concentrations.
• Control of the fermentation process and extraction of APIs.
• Characterisation of organic or inorganic substances.
• Geology and mineralogy.
• Semiconductors.
• Materials research.
