Silver nanoparticles coated amino modified polystyrene microspheres (PS-NH2/Ag NPs) with extremely high surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activity and uniform surface morphology were created by precise controlling of deposition time. Nanojets that were formed underneath the individual microspheres could be

Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy allows label-free chemical imaging based on vibrational spectroscopy. Narrowband excitation with picosecond lasers creates the highest signal levels and enables imaging speeds up to video-rate, but it sacrifices chemical specificity in samples with overlapping bands
