DESCRIPTION:The non-invasive compositional analysis of diffusely scatterin
 g (turbid) samples such as powders\, opaque bottles or biological tissues\
 , at depth is a fast evolving area of Raman spectroscopy spurred by the re
 cent advent of Spatially Offset Raman Spectroscopy (SORS). Accessible dept
 hs with SORS can be more than an order of magnitude larger than those atta
 inable with conventional Raman spectroscopy enabling\, for example\, non-i
 nvasive interrogation several mm’s\, and in some cases several cm’s\, 
 deep inside biological tissues. This presentation will focus on the develo
 pment of SORS\, its basic principles and discuss new application areas it 
 is opening\, including the detection of explosives in airport security\, q
 uality control of pharmaceutical products\, subsurface analysis of objects
  of art and non-invasive cancer and bone disease diagnoses.
LOCATION:Location: Wolfson Lecture Theatre\, Churchill College\, and Zoom
