A newly published review article in Photonix Life provides one of the most comprehensive guides to date on Raman microscopy for biological imaging. Led by researchers at the University of California San Diego, the review systematically covers spontaneous and coherent Raman techniques, bio-orthogonal probes, biomedical applications ranging from cancer to neurodegenerative disease, and emerging frontiers including quantum-enhanced imaging and AI-driven diagnostics. By organizing technical advances along four parallel performance axes and evaluating the trade-offs of each approach, the review offers a practical decision-making resource for biologists considering Raman methods and for spectroscopists seeking impactful biological applications.
