Raman Spectroscopy in Biology and Medicine

Abstract

The mini review focuses on the expected applications of Raman spectroscopy in biology and medicine. The possibility of in vivo and in situ measurements will contribute to the development of biology and will generate the necessary knowledge required to understand biological processes. It is concluded that Raman spectroscopy will become a very strong endoscopic technique based on laser diodes with excitation wavelengths ranging from UV to NIR. Few example that demonstrate the strength of Raman spectroscopy in biology and medical fields are briefly discussed.
