Abstract

Raman spectroscopy is based on Raman scattering of light form molecules, and Raman spectra provide highly useful information about molecular composition and its circumstances. The micro FT-Raman spectra both of ghost cells in calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor and keratinocytes of the gingiva showed a broad beak centered around 850 cm^-1.
