System and method for confocal raman-spectroscopic measurements of biological samples

摘要

Disclosed herein is a system, particularly a microscope system, for confocal Raman-spectroscopic measurements. The system is configured to detect minute sample amounts of microbes in a sample chamber with a lid, wherein the system is configured such that a comparably large working distance between the objective lens and the sample is sustained such that a measurement can be performed through the lid of the sample chamber. This allows for cultivating and measuring the sample in the same container.
