Ultrathin membranes unlock nano-infrared views of biomolecules in water

Very small biological samples and even individual biomolecules can now be examined under near-physiological conditions with high confidence at the BESSY II infrared beamline using a newly validated and improved technique: nanoscale infrared (IR) spectroscopy (s-SNOM) with ultrathin silicon-based membranes.
