Attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopic imaging is a
highly versatile, label free and non-destructive chemical imaging method which can be …

Background: Cancer is a major global health issue. It causes extensive individual suffering
and gives a huge burden on the health care in society. Despite extensive research and …

Infrared fingerprint spectra can reveal the chemical nature of materials down to 20-nm detail,
far below the diffraction limit, when probed by scattering-type scanning near-field optical …

We demonstrate scanning near-field optical microscopy with a spatial resolution below 100
nm by using low intensity broadband synchrotron radiation in the IR regime. The use of such …

ATR FTIR spectra were collected from rat tissue homogenates (myocardium, brain, liver,
lung, intestine, and kidney) to analyze their biochemical content. Based on the second …

We report on an optimized protocol for the digestion of cellular RNA, which minimally affects
the cell membrane integrity, maintaining substantially unaltered the vibrational contributions …

Non-invasive methods of detecting radiation exposure show promise to improve upon
current approaches to biological dosimetry in ease, speed, and accuracy. Here we …

In this chapter, we describe biomedical applications of infrared microscopic imaging applied
to human tissue sections. The central focus is human diseases including cervical cancer …

Infrared spectroscopy has brought invaluable information about proteins and about the
mechanism of action of enzymes. These achievements are difficult to transpose to living …

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is a popular technique for the analysis of
biological samples, yet its application in characterizing live cells is limited due to the strong …
