Abstract Deep‐ultraviolet light, 200–300 nm in wavelength, interacts with nucleic acids and
proteins strongly compared to visible and infrared light. In this article, the interaction …

We report for the first time the tip‐enhancement of resonance Raman scattering using deep
ultraviolet (DUV) excitation wavelength. The tip‐enhancement was successfully …

Optical microscopy has generated great impact for modern research. While fluorescence
microscopy provides the ultimate sensitivity, it generally lacks chemical information …

This book discusses the recent advances in the area of near-field Raman scattering, mainly
focusing on tip-enhanced and surface-enhanced Raman scattering. Some of the key …

Tip enhanced Raman scattering (TERS) is an emerging technique that uses a metalized
scanning probe microscope tip to spatially localize electric fields that enhances Raman …

This report describes surface‐enhanced Stokes and anti‐Stokes Raman scattering of
molecules in aqueous colloidal silver solution using non‐resonant near‐infrared excitation …

The use of imaging technologies has been critical in deciphering biological phenomena,
structures, and mechanisms across a wide range of spatial scales. The spatial resolution of …

Raman and infrared (IR) spectroscopy are powerful analytical techniques, but have
intrinsically low detection sensitivity. There have been three major steps (i) to advance the …

First, the potential role of Raman-based techniques in biomedicine is introduced. Second,
an overview about the instrumentation for spontaneous and coherent Raman scattering …

A new type of imaging Raman microscope is described. First the advantages and
disadvantages of the two possible approaches to Raman microscopy based on signal …
