Following the answer to a recent mineral identification question, use of microramen spectrometry on thin sections with glass cover slips was mentioned. Can anyone direct me to some publications where data using this method is quoted? I have archaeopetrology samples I would like to analyse but don't have the original uncovered material or can risk removal of the cover slip.
Many thanks
Dear Mrs. Horak
Please find enclosed the link for the application of Raman Microspectroscopy for petrographic thin sections. It may help you further.

This page and the linked documents describe the construction, adjustment and use of a Raman microscope for the determination of minerals in rock sections. The availability of high performance laser cutoff filters and CCD detectors allows the development of such instruments with relatively few components at an affordable cost..

Many thanks. This looks like an excellent database. I may have some more questions for you when I have had a good search.
Best wishes and thanks again.
