AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the challenges of using a Raman TruScan with a 785 nm laser for material identification due to excessive fluorescence, resulting in poor signal quality. In contrast, another lab successfully obtains consistent signals with the same equipment and sample. Possible reasons for the differing outcomes include variations in sample preparation, instrument calibration, or environmental factors. The conversation also hints at the potential relevance of Arduino sensors for on-the-spot purity detection of street drugs. Overall, the thread highlights the complexities of achieving reliable Raman spectroscopy results.

TL;DR Summary
Two raman instruments of the same model not giving reproducible results
I am attempting to use a Raman TruScan with a 785 nm laser to read a material for identification purposes. The material causes too much fluorescence and doesn’t not produce a good signal. However another lab is able to produce a good signal consistently using the same Raman model and sample material. What would be the reason for the different results between instruments?

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
