Microscopy
Typical applications of infrared and Raman microscopy are the analysis of particles, defects, or the analysis of inhomogeneities. Another typical application of microscopy is the investigation of polymorphism of active drug ingredients (APIs) in solid form and their distribution in space.
Spectroscopy
For spectroscopy, the use of polymorph monitoring, control of chemistry of substances, identification and others is typical.
Example of the use of Raman microscopy for chemical mapping of tablets:
