Raman microspectroscopy in human pathology

Microscopic inclusions due to inhaled particles in human tissue sections were identified in situ by Raman microspectroscopy. Different types of substances, including talc, rutile, α-quartz, calcite, and related compounds, were traced. In addition, the nature of pulmonary “blue bodies” was studied....
