Original Abstract Submitted

An infrared Raman device is capable of switching and performing Raman measurement and first infrared measurement on a sample. The infrared Raman device includes an objective lens for Raman measurement; a first observation lens for infrared measurement; a laser light source that generates laser light; a first infrared light source that generates first infrared light; and a mirror. The mirror is disposed at time of the Raman measurement to reflect the laser light to cause the laser light to pass through the objective lens for Raman measurement and reflect Raman light generated from the sample by the laser light that passes through the objective lens for Raman measurement and radiated to the sample. The Raman light passes back through the objective lens for Raman measurement.
