🧪 Raman Spectroscopy (2D)

A 2D companion to the 3D Raman microscope: fire a laser at quartz, calcite, hematite or graphite and watch the scattered-light spectrum build in real time as power and integration time change.

This 2D companion reads the same reference Raman shifts as the 3D microscope — quartz, calcite, hematite and graphite each carry their own real peak positions — through a flat canvas view: a schematic beam hits the sample while a live bar spectrum builds Lorentzian-shaped peaks below it, so you can watch signal-to-noise rise with laser power and integration time without orbiting a 3D scene.

Canvas2D Raman spectrometer: four mineral references with literature Raman shifts, a live spectrum built from Gaussian peaks plus shot noise, and signal-to-noise scaling with laser power and integration time.
