Discrete-frequency infrared imaging with a quantum cascade laser and diffuse optical Raman tomography: methods toward improving clinically relevant label-free chemical contrast
Label-free chemical imaging provides the ability to probe chemical structure without interference from dyes or other contrast agents which potentially alter the system being studied. Two emerging, non-invasive spectroscopic methods with significant potential include the use of quantum cascade laser …
