Reverse Engineering
Infrared and Raman spectroscopy have proven to be valuable tools in the characterization of materials and products. The obvious solution to keeping up in a competitive market is to acquire the product in question, disassemble it, and analyze it. This reverse engineering process can greatly expedite the immediate introduction of competitive products into the market. The capabilities of infrared and Raman microscopes continue to improve providing greater sensitivity and spatial resolution in characterizing small samples.
