Rapid and label-free identification of normal spermatozoa based on image analysis and micro-Raman spectroscopy.

abstract：:Near-infrared light allows measuring tissue oxygenation. These measurements relay on oxygenation-dependent absorption spectral changes. However, the tissue scattering, which is also spectral dependent, introduces an intrinsic error. Most methods focus on the volume reflectance from a semi-infinite sample. We have prop...
