A library of probes used to multiplex this technique are called “carbow” because they span a “carbon rainbow.” Haemanthus, a new startup founded by Elizabeth Holmes’s husband, claims to use this technique to diagnose ALS from blood spotted onto a fluorite disk. When it’s used for imaging, this technique relies on nanotag reporters stuck onto nanourchins or nanostars. Chemical biologists use this technique to detect alkynes in cells because alkynes show up in a biologically (*) “silent” region between 1800 and 2800 wavenumber. In a format of non-destructive, label-free microscopy, this technique detects changes to molecular polarizability, and its normally weak signal is amplified by resonance on a gold surface. For 10 points, name this technique in vibrational spectroscopy that detects inelastic photon scattering. ■END■
