Abstract
A microscopy system has been constructed that is capable of simultaneously acquiring both traditional Raman spectra as well as angle-resolved elastic-scattering patterns using a single focused laser spot less than 10 mum wide. The elastic-scattering signal was analyzed by generalized Lorenz-Mie theory, representing what we believe to be the first experimental validation of the theory's prediction of angular backscatter from single spheres. The microscope system exhibits 3 nm precision in predicting sphere diameters, while simultaneously yielding high-quality Raman signals. Applications to single cell analysis are envisioned.Mesh:
