Summary
nano infrared and sub micron Raman spectroscopy and imaging. Nano infrared and sub micron raman spectroscopy and imaging: Near-field Infrared (IR) spectroscopy and imaging systems will be coupled to near-field scanning optical microscopes to provide IR spectroscopy and molecular images at less than 20 nanometre lateral resolution. This is unprecedented resolution for infrared fingerprinting and molecular imaging.

Nano infrared and sub micron raman spectroscopy and imaging: Near-field Infrared (IR) spectroscopy and imaging systems will be coupled to near-field scanning optical microscopes to provide IR spectroscopy and molecular images at less than 20 nanometre lateral resolution. This is unprecedented resolution for infrared fingerprinting and molecular imaging. For two months a year the spectroscopy system will be coupled to the IR beamline at the Australian synchrotron, to provide full IR spectral coverage available to all Australian and New Zealand scientists. A confocal raman spectrometer will be upgraded to the ultraviolet to provide spectra at less than 150 nanometre resolution. These systems will provide a unique Australian resource for nanoscientists, biomedical researchers and materials scientists requiring molecular information on the nanoscale.Read moreRead less

This project involves the development of an innovative optical biosensing system combined with a sophisticated barcode system containing information for clinical diagnosis of cardiovascular disease. For the first time, this system will provide information on the amount and chemical structure of cardiac biomarkers at the same time by combining reflectometric interference and low resolution Raman spectroscopies. These optical signals will be converted into barcodes containing several levels of information, which will be at the base of this versatile point-of-care test. The obtained results will be implemented in a computerised database to improve current cardiac disease diagnosis.Read moreRead less
