ABSTRACT
In the last decade, infrared (IR) and Raman microscopic imaging techniques have gained recognition not only in academic research laboratories but also in solving a variety of real-world problems confronting various industries. A major advantage of spectroscopic imaging techniques is the availability of direct molecular structural information inherent
