Chemically sensitive, label-free spectroscopy and microscopy is a critical tool for the study of many complex and dynamic biological systems. The development of the impulsive stimulated Raman scattering (ISRS) techniques in this thesis represent important steps forward in addressing the ability to interrogate Raman vibrations in complex and scattering samples, particularly low frequency Raman modes.
