Resumen
Featured Application: Micro-Raman spectroscopy has been proved to be a quick technique for the study of minerals showing asbestiform morphology, in particular for identification of those ascribing to the phases defined by Law ?asbestos?. Moreover, information about the crystal surface?free or occupied by crystalline or amorphous particles?can be at the same time obtained, being this last feature important for the interaction of the fibers with the biological medium.
