Abstract

Infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopies are being increasingly employed for the label-free analysis of biochemical samples. Both are vibrational imaging techniques, but they provide complementary information about the chemical composition of the sample, and thus the integration of Raman and IR images leads to a comprehensive understanding of the samples. Here, we summarize the steps needed for performing multiplexed infrared and Raman imaging, identifying and overcoming the two main challenges: first, the technical difficulties caused by the incompatibilities of the techniques and, second, the necessity to extract the information from the large number of vibrational variables found in both IR and Raman spectra.
