Abstract

When my colleague Parvez Haris asked me to write a historical review on the evolution of biomedical vibrational spectroscopy I consented, but now I need to clarify what this review is about and what it is not. It is my personal belief that biomedical vibrational spectroscopy has yet to reach its full potential and therefore I will not restrict myself to recounting its past history but will look ahead to its future and where it may still be evolving. Accordingly, my review will comprise two parts. As yours truly has now joined the league of octogenarians, in the first part I plan to share with the readers my personal recollections of the very early days of vibrational bio-spectroscopy which I was privileged to witness and be part of. In the second part I intend to peer into the crystal ball and speculate on new applications in the medical sciences, envisioning vibrational spectroscopy as a tool for the exploration of the human mind to probe psychosomatic diseases and emotional disorders.

生物医学振动光谱学的发展:个人观点

当我的同事Parvez Haris要求我写一篇关于生物医学振动光谱学发展的历史综述时，我同意了，但现在我需要澄清这篇综述是关于什么的，不是关于什么的。我个人认为，生物医学振动光谱学还没有充分发挥其潜力，因此我不会局限于叙述它的过去，而是展望它的未来，以及它可能仍在发展的地方。因此，我的审查将包括两部分。由于您现在已经加入了耄耋老人的行列，在第一部分中，我计划与读者分享我对振动生物光谱学早期的个人回忆，我有幸见证并参与其中。在第二部分中，我打算窥探水晶球并推测在医学科学中的新应用，设想振动光谱学作为探索人类心灵的工具来探索身心疾病和情感障碍。

期刊介绍： Biomedical Spectroscopy and Imaging (BSI) is a multidisciplinary journal devoted to the timely publication of basic and applied research that uses spectroscopic and imaging techniques in different areas of life science including biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, bionanotechnology, environmental science, food science, pharmaceutical science, physiology and medicine. Scientists are encouraged to submit their work for publication in the form of original articles, brief communications, rapid communications, reviews and mini-reviews. Techniques covered include, but are not limited, to the following: • Vibrational Spectroscopy (Infrared, Raman, Teraherz) • Circular Dichroism Spectroscopy • Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR, ESR) • UV-vis Spectroscopy • Mössbauer Spectroscopy • X-ray Spectroscopy (Absorption, Emission, Photoelectron, Fluorescence) • Neutron Spectroscopy • Mass Spectroscopy • Fluorescence Spectroscopy • X-ray and Neutron Scattering • Differential Scanning Calorimetry • Atomic Force Microscopy • Surface Plasmon Resonance • Magnetic Resonance Imaging • X-ray Imaging • Electron Imaging • Neutron Imaging • Raman Imaging • Infrared Imaging • Terahertz Imaging • Fluorescence Imaging • Near-infrared spectroscopy.
