Appendix: Infrared and Raman Spectra of Selected Cellular. Components. Index.This book tackles one of the most recent and most challenging roles for vibrational spectroscopy, encompassing the various biomedical applications that have emerged in recent years. The individual contributions in this section range from applications in pathology and in clinical chemistry, to the detection of cancer and the identification of pathogenic micro-organisms. Near-infrared spectroscopy, once considered to be the stepchild of vibrational spectroscopy, figures prominently in the biomedical applications; for example to monitor such analytes as oxy- and deoxyhemoglobin circulating in our oxygen-carrying life sap, the blood.
