    摘要: The invention relates to methods of dynamic chemical imaging, including methods of cellular imaging. The method comprises illuminating at least a portion of a cell with substantially monochromatic light and assessing Raman-shifted light scattered from the illuminated portion at a plurality of discrete times. The Raman-shifted light can be assessed at a plurality of Raman shift (RS) values at each of the discrete times, and the RS values can be selected to be characteristic of a pre-selected component at each of the discrete times. Multivariate analysis of Raman spectral features of the images thus obtained can yield the location and chemical identity of components in the field of view. This information can be combined or overlaid with other spectral data (e.g., a visible microscopic image) obtained from the field of view.

    摘要: A system and method for depositing a sample of a threat agent is deposited onto a substrate. A first optical collection device collects at least one of the following: elastic scattered light produced by the threat agent, and Raman scattered light produced by the threat agent. A second optical collection device collects Raman scattered light produced by the threat agent, wherein the second optical collection device comprises a two dimensional non-linear array of optical fibers drawn into a one dimensional fiber stack that converts a non-linear field of view into a linear field of view, wherein the one dimensional fiber stack is coupled to an entrance slit of a Raman imaging spectrometer. The threat agent deposited on the substrate is identified.
