Rapid and accurate peripheral nerve imaging by multipoint Raman spectroscopy

Abstract Raman spectroscopy allows label-free, minimally invasive, and accurate detection of peripheral nerves. However, the conventional Raman imaging technique is time-consuming when measuring a large area of a sample. Establishing a method for rapidly acquiring spatial distribution of a bundle of...

description Abstract Raman spectroscopy allows label-free, minimally invasive, and accurate detection of peripheral nerves.
