This book is focus mainly on vibrational spectroscopy, Raman scattering and infrared absorption, and their applications in biology and medicine. When talking about new techniques, beside imaging or surface-enhanced spectroscopy also the investigation of optical activity of the samples became significantly common. In view of the fact that beside vibrational spectroscopy also electronic absorption is presented here as a potent and complementary tool to study absolute configuration, the overall topic of this book is named “optical spectroscopy”, however the main part is devoted to vibrational methods.
