Offering the high spectral resolution of conventional Raman spectroscopy combined with reduced acquisition time, multiplex coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (MCARS) microspectroscopy using sub-nanosecond laser pulses has been accepted as a mature and straightforward technology for label-free bioimaging. In a recently published paper, Philippe Leproux and associates have introduced the combination of the MCARS imaging technique with unsupervised data analysis based on multivariate curve resolution (MCR). Leproux spoke to Spectroscopy about combining the techniques, as well as discussing the potential of the results.

We study the spectrum of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)—otherwise known as plexiglass—and the spectra of PMMA mixtures and copolymers.
A 3D printer can shorten the time to make prototype hardware for spectrometers from weeks to days—or less.

Recently, at the 2022 SciX conference in Covington, Kentucky, Beatriz Fernandez, who is an Associate Professor at the University of Oviedo in Spain, presented, as part of the Technical Program, a discussion regarding the determination of proteins in single cells by ICP-MS using metal nanoclusters as labels of specific recognition reactions. Fernandez spoke to Spectroscopy about her presentation.
