Raman imaging techniques are used to obtain information about the molecular vibrations and crystal structure of a sample. Image pixels are used to acquire a complete spectrum, which is ...

In contrast, single-cell Raman spectroscopy has emerged as a promising ... of microorganisms and offers advantages such as speed, culture-free operation, and multi-target detection.

with Raman spectroscopy, allowing for the direct identification and isolation—from environmental samples—of functional single cells and the enzymes they encode. This dual-targeting approach ...
