Lunch & Learn Seminar
Modern IR- and Raman-Microscopy for Microplastics Analysis and Environmental Research

September 16th, 2026, Universität für Bodenkultur (BOKU) in Wien

Modern IR- and Raman-Microscopy for Microplastics
Analysis and Environmental Research

We are pleased to invite you to our Bruker Lunch & Learn on modern IR- and Raman microscopy for microplastics analysis.

Microplastics are an increasing environmental challenge. Our speakers will discuss their occurrence, distribution and deposition and show how advanced IR and Raman microscopy can help to identify and characterize microplastics in different environmental compartments.

We look forward to an inspiring exchange and to discussing these topics with you!

Highlights

Experience our comprehensive portfolio of microscopy and molecular imaging solutions. The program offers a combination of detailed presentations and live demonstrations of our IR and Raman microscopes.

The event will be in English.
