摘要
The near-infrared (NIR) laser tweezers/Raman microprobe system features two charge-coupled device (CCD) cameras with holographic notch filters (HNFs for the imaging and spectroscopic analysis of molecules in a single microdroplet (MD), One CCD camera and a HNF are used to record an image of the laser microprobe in a trapped MD. The other CCD camera and two HNFs are used with a polychromator to obtain a Raman spectrum of molecules in the MD. A dielectric multilayer coated beam splitter divides the scattered NIR light into two optical paths for the cameras. The system provides sufficient sensitivity to obtain a Raman spectrum of p-cresol contained in a single picoliter toluene MD and sufficient spatial resolution to record an image of the laser microprobe in a trapped MD simultaneously. Furthermore, a difference in the solubility for the p-cresol in bulk solvent and in the MD solvent was clearly observed using this system. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
