Detecting and Monitoring of Cancer at the Cellular Level - Vibrational Spectroscopy for Tissue Analysis - page 185

chemical structural characterisation of biological tissues, then yes, we again
agree with Professor Morris, “In principle, it will take a couple of seconds to
interpret the results.” [36].
