Abstract: An optical apparatus for Raman scattering microscopy includes a laser source that emits a laser beam at an excitation wavelength ?, a microscope objective that receives the laser beam and focuses the laser beam in an image plane of the microscope objective, the focused laser beam being intended to illuminate a sample, an optical system for collecting a Raman scattering optical beam, and detection elements suitable for detecting the Raman scattering beam collected. More particularly, the Raman scattering microscopy apparatus further includes an adaptive optics system positioned on an optical path of the Raman scattering beam, the said adaptive optics system is configured to form the image of an energy distribution inside the confocal hole on the entrance slit of the spectrometer in such a way as to obtain an energy distribution in a direction of a height of the slit.
