Abstract In 1948, Dennis Gabor proposed the concept of holography, providing a pioneering
solution to a quantitative description of the optical wavefront. After 75 years of development …

Driven by applications in chemical sensing, biological imaging and material
characterisation, Raman spectroscopies are attracting growing interest from a variety of …

Plastics are an integral but largely inconspicuous part of daily human routines. The present
review paper uses cross-disciplinary scientific literature to examine and assess the possible …

BACKGROUND Biomolecules can serve as natural labels for microscopy by measuring their
molecular vibration spectra in living cells and tissues. However, the transition from …

Altered lipid metabolism is increasingly recognized as a signature of cancer cells. Enabled
by label-free Raman spectromicroscopy, we performed quantitative analysis of lipogenesis …

Raman scattering provides an intrinsic fingerprint of chemical composition. Spontaneous
Raman spectroscopy has been used for many decades to interrogate biological materials …

Hyperspectral imaging is a technique that provides rich chemical or compositional
information not regularly available to traditional imaging modalities such as intensity …

Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) describes a family of techniques first discovered and
developed in the 1960s. Whereas the nascent history of the technique is parallel to that of …

Sensitive and specific visualization of small biomolecules in living systems is highly
challenging. We report stimulated Raman-scattering imaging of alkyne tags as a general …

Advances in optical spectroscopy and microscopy have had a profound impact throughout
the physical, chemical and biological sciences. One example is coherent Raman …
