At the SciX Conference in Sparks, Nevada, Spectroscopy magazine sat down with Karen Esmonde-White of Endress+Hauser to talk about her career transition and how Raman spectroscopy has evolved over the years.
Today at SciX, Spectroscopy magazine sat down with Karen Esmonde-White to talk about her career transition and how Raman spectroscopy has evolved over the years.
Karen Esmonde-White spent the earlier part of her career at the University of Michigan Medical School, where she worked as a Research Investigator. At the University of Michigan, she helped develop transcutaneous Raman spectroscopy for the clinical diagnosis of musculoskeletal diseases, with an emphasis on Raman identification of bone infection in chronic wounds. She now works for Endress+Hauser as a Product Manager, working on the marketing and communication side of their business.
In this interview segment, Esmonde-White answers the following questions:

Nanometer-Scale Studies Using Tip Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy
February 8th 2013Volker Deckert, the winner of the 2013 Charles Mann Award, is advancing the use of tip enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) to push the lateral resolution of vibrational spectroscopy well below the Abbe limit, to achieve single-molecule sensitivity. Because the tip can be moved with sub-nanometer precision, structural information with unmatched spatial resolution can be achieved without the need of specific labels.
Advanced Raman Techniques for Micro- and Nanoplastics Detection
June 7th 2024A recent review article discusses four advanced Raman techniques, including surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), Raman tweezers (RTs), tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS), and Raman mapping/imaging (RM/RI), and how these techniques are being applied for the detection of micro- and nanoplastics.
