Compositional analysis of lipid droplets in live cancer cells.(d) An SRL image of a single live PC3 cell at 2874 cm21 and the corresponding CE percentage map. To focus on lipid droplet analysis, the background signal was filtered out by a threshold. (e) An SRL image of an avasimibe-treated PC3 cell at 2874 cm21and the corresponding CE percentage map. The pixel dwell time was 32 ms. Scale bar510 mm. CE, cholesteryl ester; SRL, stimulated Raman loss; TG, triglyceride.

Raman spectra of aqueous n-butanol-d9. Shown are isotopic,polarized and SC Raman spectra at 20 uC that reveal differences between hydrophobic hydration-shell and bulk water structures. Raman spectra of purewater (blue) anda 0.5Maqueous solutionof n-butanol-d9 (green), and the corresponding SC spectrum (red) with features that arise from solute intramolecular vibrations and from hydration-shell water molecules whose vibrational spectrum is perturbed by the solute. The inset shows an expanded view of the SCOHstretch region, and theOHband of pure water scaled to the same maximum intensity. Arrows indicate hydrogen-bonded OH; the small peak on the right is the dangling OH.
