2.2. Visual observations
Preliminary observations on the samples were per- formed using an Olympus SZ-40 stereomicroscope (10 and 20 objectives) equipped with an Olympus DP10 digital camera. Optical observations of the cross-sections were carried out using an Olympus BX60 in reec- tion mode (with optical magnications 50 to 500) equipped with a JVC KY-F1030 digital camera. The op- tical images were collected with reected …show more content…
Stream-
Line imaging, available on inVia Raman microscopes, was applied to scan several areas on the painted surface in few minutes. Spectral acquisition was performed by
(WiRETM, version 3.0) software.
StreamLine Plus uses optics within the InVia Raman microscope to illuminate a line on the sample. The In-
Via's motorized microscope stage moves the sample be- neath the objective lens so that the line is rastered across the region of interest. Data are swept synchronously across the detector as the line moves across the sample, and are read out continuously. The ability to image areas larger than the eld of view of the microscope not only enables large areas to be imaged, but it also allows areas to be imaged using high magnication objective lenses.
According to Renishaw technical guide, StreamLine Plus is fast because sample movement, sample illumination, and data readout are performed simultaneously, rather than in series. StreamLine Plus's line focus sample illu- mination geometry gives lower power densities, enabling the maximum laser power to be employed. This ensures high data quality is maintained even at very fast
