Hi all,

Just got back from a trip and only saw the last response to this question
but Aryeh may be on the right track.  Raman is a great tool for imaging
water in certain applications. The confocal Ramans from Instruments SA and
Renishaw are worth a try. Both companies will run samples (caveat: both are
headed for Pittcon this next week so it is probably good politics to either
see them in New Orleans, on the show floor, or wait until about a week
after they get home, ex: around 3/27).

Best regards,
