TL;DR: TERS spectra obtained from different particles of the same virus strain show variations in relative peak intensities and positions of most spectral features observed, higher for the larger avipoxvirus particles than for the smaller adeno-associated virus particles.

TL;DR: The results are indeed promising and may lead to the development of a new Raman-based malaria diagnostic, indicating that the technique has potential to identify low pigmented forms of the parasite including early trophozoite-stage infected cells.

TL;DR: The application of scattering-type near-field optical microscopy to characterize various semiconducting materials using the electron storage ring Metrology Light Source (MLS) as a broadband synchrotron radiation source shows high sensitivity for spectroscopic material discrimination.

TL;DR: In this article, confocal Raman microspectroscopy was used to investigate and illustrate the spatial heterogeneity of microbial cell populations, showing pronounced cellular heterogeneity even in colonies cultivated under laboratory conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare far-field and near-field Raman spectra of silicon-based samples and biological nanostructures like avipox virus or amyloid fibrils.
