Applying Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy (or related technologies such as
Raman spectroscopy) to biological questions (defined as biospectroscopy) is relatively …

Biospectroscopy is employed to derive absorbance spectra representative of biomolecules
present in biological samples. The mid-infrared region (λ= 2.5 μm− 25 μm) is absorbed to …

IR spectroscopy is an excellent method for biological analyses. It enables the
nonperturbative, label-free extraction of biochemical information and images toward …

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy of intact cells results in a fingerprint of their biochemistry in the
form of an IR spectrum; this has given rise to the new field of biospectroscopy. This protocol …

Infrared spectra of single biological cells often exhibit the 'dispersion artefact'observed as a
sharp decrease in intensity on the high wavenumber side of absorption bands, in particular …

Tissue-conserving surgery is used increasingly in cancer treatment. However, one of the
main challenges in this type of surgery is the detection of tumor margins. Histopathology …

Infrared spectroscopic cytology is potentially a powerful clinical tool. However, in order for it
to be successful, practitioners must be able to extract reliably a pure absorption spectrum …

Detection of breast cancer has particular importance for the diagnosis of cancer diseases.
This is the most common type of cancer among women. Breast cancer is a malignant tumor …

K-means clustering followed by Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is employed to
analyse Raman spectroscopic maps of single biological cells. K-means clustering …

The most common initial treatment received by patients with a brain tumour is surgical
removal of the growth. Precise histopathological diagnosis of brain tumours is to some …
