How Raman spectroscopy is revolutionizing the field of healthcare technology?

Introduction: C.V.Raman started off the discussion as of why sea appears to be blue in day? Many assumed, it's because sky is blue and the same light gets reflected by the sea water. But it was Raman who discovered a different answer from his numerous experiments with crystal. He came with a new phenomenon of scattering, finally named after him - Raman Scattering. This theory stands till date and there has been numerous applications developed from this theory of scattering. This article leads one to a world of bio-physics and how it has a huge potential in dealing with significant medical challenges faced by medical surgeons, oncologist, ophthalmologist and many more. It would take one to tour of how Raman spectroscopy leads medicine research in detecting disease such as diabetes and cancer. Moreover it gives complimentary result as given that by Infrared (IR) spectroscopy and hence increasing the amount of information for better decision making. Raman spectroscopy has ability to create a variance between DNA/RNA, proteins, lipids, tissues and many more and hence it could be used for diagnosing different entities. Principles: When a photon strikes an atom, there are basically two ways it can interact. It may exchange energies with electron, ...
