"This book makes a seminal contribution to the field of biomedical imaging, and provides the reader with an excellent introduction and in-depth descriptions of the latest and greatest implementations of coherent Raman imaging technology—enough to jump start a new program or infuse new life into an existing one. The clear descriptions of a wide range of applications show how the methods are being used at present and indicate many different and varied future paths. This book is an excellent addition to the bookshelves of biomedical imaging practitioners and researchers in related fields, including surface analysis, process control, forensics, and others."—David S. Moore, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, 2013 "Interested readers can find an excellent mix of [optical platforms and applications given a solid theoretical approach] in this book, which is the first one dealing in a comprehensive and exhaustive way with CRS microscopy and related techniques. No one involved in optical microscopy and spectroscopy should miss this text, which is able to offer new exciting scenarios and, for sure, at least one new idea after reading."—Alberto Diaspro, Italian Institute of Technology (IIT), Journal of Biomedical Optics, 2014
