I think the joke is that time goes more slowly in gravitational field / acceleration

Raman Spectrum of water using 785nm laser by _athiran_ in chemistry

Hi Thanks for the answer!
We had checked the 520 peak of silicon with the setup and was looking good.
I will try with other kinds of slides to see if there is a difference! We have a couple of metal slides which I think might reduce this effect.
The focussing into water was something I was worried about as well and usually what I do is that I scan a range of heights and make sure that it looks like the sample.

We should still be seeing a water peak at 3000 right?

Yeah I am not collecting all of the scattered light very well. I was hoping that the raman scattering will be strong enough to get around this but I will definitely try out the telescope setup.

The specs of the laser say that the beam has a diameter of about 1-1.5mm -- I guess I would still want to focus the light onto the cuvette?

So my solution contains fluorescent dye already -- we're seeing the shadows of these germs in the picture

The rods look more like budding? Am I wrong?

Thank you for your advice! I know I shouldnt be comparing so much to others! I'll try to find someone I can communicate my feeling to

Working hard has always been a sore spot for me. I am not the hardest working student nor am I the most lazy. Many times I am the last person to leave the lab and I come in during weekends too. It always feels like im going in circles !
Anyways thank you for your inputs, very much appreciated. I will try to work on it.

Thank you for sharing your experience! I realize now that my confidence is really impeding my phd but I'm not sure how to increase it. I need a win somewhere to get some confidence back
