Label Free Vibrational Imaging for Biology and Medicine

by Dr. Sunney Xie, Harvard University

 

Stimulated Raman scattering microscopy is a label-free and noninvasive imaging technique that uses vibration spectroscopy as the contrast mechanism. Significant advances in sensitivity, selectivity, robustness and cost reduction have been made recently, allowing many biomedical applications

 

 

Dr. Sunney Xie is professor of chemistry and chemical biology at Harvard University. He is the 2013 recipient of the Ellis R. Lippincott Award, which is presented annually to an individual who has made significant contributions to the field of vibrational spectroscopy. This award was established in 1975 by OSA, the Coblentz Society and the Society for Applied Spectroscopy to honor the unique contributions of Ellis R. Lippincott to the field of vibrational spectroscopy. The purpose of the Ellis R. Lippincott Award is to honor Dr. Lippincott's memory by the recognition of significant contributions and notable achievements in the field of vibrational spectroscopy. The medal is sponsored jointly by the Coblentz Society, the Optical Society of America and the Society for Applied Spectroscopy.
