DESCRIPTION:Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy is a label-free a
 nd noninvasive imaging technique using vibration spectroscopy as the contr
 ast mechanism. Recent advances have allowed significant improvements in se
 nsitivity and selectivity\, opening a wide range of applications. This is 
 particularly relevant in biology since SRS microscopy does not affect cell
  function\, and is best suited for imaging small metabolite molecules. For
  medicine\, SRS microscopy provides instant tissue examination without the
  need of previous histological staining procedures\, and is particularly s
 uited for tumor surgery.
