Background/Aims:
Raman spectroscopy has been used for a range of biomedical applications: the study of normal and diseased tissues, and the interaction of chemical agents with tissues, implants and even single cells. The object here was to review the extent to which the Raman spectroscopic technique has been applied to skin research, considering the implications of different instrumentation, comparing animal and human skin, healthy and diseased skin and in vivo and in vitro sampling.
Conclusions:
Raman spectroscopy is a versatile and non-destructive technique for the study of skin.

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...
