Label-free in vivo Raman microspectroscopic imaging of the macromolecular architecture of oocytes

Abstract Confocal Raman spectroscopy (CRS) can provide information about oocyte competency through measurement of changes in the macromolecular architecture during oocyte development and maturation. Hitherto most spectroscopic studies have been limited to fixed oocytes due to the inherent difficulti...
