Infrared (IR; or mid-infrared, MIR; 4000-400 cm− 1; 2500–25,000 nm) spectroscopy has
become one of the most powerful and versatile tools at the disposal of modern bioscience …

Infrared (IR) spectroscopic imaging seemingly matured as a technology in the mid-2000s,
with commercially successful instrumentation and reports in numerous applications. Recent …

Optical chemical imaging seeks to nondestructively acquire spatially resolved chemical
information without the use of labels or probes. The combination of vibrational mid-infrared …

Vibrational spectroscopy and imaging promise molecular information that can be rapidly
acquired without the need for specialized stains or dyes, thereby potentially simplifying and …

Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) imaging is a well-established modality but requires the
acquisition of a spectrum over a large bandwidth, even in cases where only a few spectral …

The quality of images from an infrared (IR) microscope has traditionally been limited by
considerations of throughput and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). An understanding of the …

Porcine skin is often considered a substitute for human skin based on morphological and
functional data, for example, for transdermal drug diffusion studies. A chemical, structural …

Histopathology forms the gold standard for the diagnosis of breast cancer. Fourier Transform
Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopic imaging has been proposed to be a potentially powerful …

IR absorption imaging, especially using Fourier transform IR (FT-IR) imaging spectrometers,
is an emerging modality for biomedical applications. As opposed to current techniques that …

It has been well recognized that infrared spectra of microscopically heterogeneous media do
not merely reflect the absorption of the sample but are influenced also by geometric factors …
