Abstract

Red blood cells (RBCs) and solid‐state hemes give rise to intense overtone bands when excited with green laser light. On p. 3963, B. R. Wood et al. demonstrate that combining the non‐fundamental and fundamental regions of the resonance Raman spectrum improves the sensitivity and diagnostic capability of the technique.
