ABSTRACT
Fourier transform infrared and Raman (FT-IR and FT-Raman) microspectroscopy were used to study materials found in human tissue. Individual cases involving cholesterol, calcium stearate, and a polystyrenesulfonate ion exchange resin demonstrate the utility of the spectroscopic data. Characteristic spectral bands for these materials were compared with those of authentic chemical species to confirm their identities. The role of vibrational spectroscopy in pathologic diagnoses is discussed.
