Method and apparatus for producing a streaming Raman image of nucleation, aggregation, and chemical interaction

摘要

The present disclosure describes methods and apparatus to produce a streaming image of a sample during a time period when an attribute of the sample is changing. The streaming image can be viewed in such a manner so as to be able to follow a visible change in an attribute of the sample. The sample may be undergoing nucleation, aggregation, or chemical interaction. The present disclosure also describes methods and apparatus to determine a change in an attribute of a sample by detecting, analyzing, and comparing spectra of the sample taken at different times during the time period when the attribute of the sample is changing. The sample may be undergoing nucleation, aggregation, or chemical interaction.
