A Raman scattering spectrographic analyzer wherein a microscope objective
is adapted to view single bio-specimens on a substrate having
monodispersed-sized metal particles. A defined wavelength of radiation is
applied through the microscope and returning radiation resulting from
Raman scattering by bio-specimens is applied to a spectrometer operative
to provide a signal corresponding to the wavelength components in said
Raman scattered or shifted radiation. The spread spectrum of the Raman
shift is analyzed for identification of a bio-specimen.
