Abstract

We investigate the membranes of cells fixed on a photonic chip using evanescent excitation and collection of Raman signals using single-mode nano-photonic waveguides. Enhancement and selectivity of the evanescent interaction allow for selectively probing the membrane with higher efficiency than confocal microscopes.
