This is shaping up nicely on both the weekly and daily charts -- with the 200DMA at around $12 I think we could see a nice probing push above and beyond

The upshot is that they can find cancer cells that have spread from an existing cancer...even though at very small amounts.

The can esplore the origin of priceless works of art, uising RAMAN technology...in the below cited cases, supplemented by other TECH..

Using existing instruments.

Quantom dots and old paint...

Dutch researchers have overcome the traditional incompatibility of Raman microscopy with fluorescence microscopy by exploiting the optical properties of semiconductor fluorescent quantum dots (QDs). They have now used their hybrid Raman fluorescence spectral imaging approach in single-cell microscopy applications.

Biophysical engineers Henk-Jan van Manen and Cees Otto of the University of Twente, The Netherlands, have used fluorescent nanoparticles to broaden the scope of single-cell microscopy by combining it with intracellular chemical analysis based on Raman.

According to the researchers, the need for fluorescent nanoparticles, or quantum dots, arises because common fluorescent labels overshadow the intrinsically weak Raman signals from DNA, proteins and lipids in cells. To side-step this problem, the team used fluorescent quantum dots that emit light in a wavelength region that is well-separated from Raman signals.

The group at the University of Twente has pioneered the use of Raman spectroscopy in investigating the chemical make-up of single cells. Van Manen and Otto have now demonstrated successfully the hybrid technique by illuminating white blood cells under UV at 413 nm, and observing the Raman signal from an enzyme critical to the innate immune response. This allowed them to detect and visualize the enzyme across the cell. In a second proof of principle experiment, the team used 647 nm light to investigate cellular proteins and lipids.

Van Manen and Otto say that the fluorescence Raman microscopy combination provides exciting new possibilities because the nanoparticles coated with antibodies raised against cancer biomarkers could be used to guide Raman microscopy to certain areas in tissues and allow the spread of cancer in a patient to be detected with molecular precision.
"We have exploited the optical properties of nanosized quantum dots to develop two new strategies for combining confocal Raman microscopy with confocal fluorescence microscopy on QD-labelled biological cells," conclude the researchers. The first approach uses resonant Raman microspectroscopy and imaging of enzymes, in this case flavocytochrome b558, and is, the team says, fully compatible with linear fluorescence microscopy of intracellular QDs.

The second method involves continuous-wave two-photon-excited fluorescence of the QDs in white blood cells and does not interfere with non-resonant Raman signals produced by proteins or lipids in the cells. "As these hybrid Raman fluorescence strategies should be applicable to any cell type that is amenable to labelling with QDs," the researchers add, "we envision that hybrid Raman fluorescence microscopy will offer new prospects for integrating QD imaging on cells with spatially resolved, detailed intracellular chemical analysis by broadband Raman microspectroscopy."

Infrared and Raman vibrational spectroscopies reveal the palette of frescos found in the medieval monastery of Karaach Teke

Abstract: Vibrational spectroscopy is applied on samples obtained from the excavation area of the medieval Monastery (10th century) of Karaach-Teke in Bulgaria. The results of the corresponding study, reveal the type of materials used for the creation of the wall-paintings and give evidence of Byzantine influence, a fact that further supports the well known impact of Byzantium on the technology and thematic-aesthetic features of iconography in Bulgaria during this era. In addition, the complementarity of FTIR and µ-Raman spectroscopies in the identification of pigments is indicated.

NOTE Vibrational=resonant. (I think) Alla this may be a bit beyond my pay grade...but may be of interest,,

DELTA and NU are both greek letters.. If you wanta see what the other greek letters are, I suggest GOOGLE..just put in GREEK LETTERS, that oughta do it.

BTW, I am not presently an investor in any doo-hickey that employs that tech, but am looking at doing that,,thus this board was born.

Yall help me look, OK??

Yall feel free to jump in at any time and call me a lying sumbich, or praise RAMAN tech or whatever. I am a tolerant
board monitor.. put up with a heap more than most.

RAMAN technology was named after the cat from India that first worked out the math of it. His name was RAMAN. That was in 1922, even before I was born. He had to look closely, since te RAMAN radiation is a very small part of what is emitted when excitation is applied to a substance..

But it tells a heap..does that small amount. So devices that employ that factor are fairly new. The U of Wyoming..and DELTANU, a company named for a frat house at the U, nae doot, ..is a pioneer of sorts in the utilization of that phenomenon...

About time that Wyoming got famous for SOMETHING!! LOL!!

Not a mining stock!!

sounds interesting. how soon will they be mining? how long will their permitting process take?

This is not a penny stock. It has had some ups and some downs, but with DELTANU and INSPACTOR RAMEN, it has renewed potential.

Most likely an over-looked stock with high potential. Might be worth looking at.
