“…Pettinger and coworkers have contributed a great deal to the field of TERS, yielding impressive demonstrations of the power of the technique (including TERS microscopy) (113). For further details on TERS, see Reference 114, in which Pettinger provides a comprehensive review of SM-SERS and -TERS (114), including the historical aspects of the origin of TERS. As with many other aspects of SM-SERS, the TERS technique is still under development.…”

A general overview of the field of single-molecule (SM) surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) as it stands today is provided. After years of debates on the basic aspects of SM-SERS, the technique is emerging as a well-established subfield of spectroscopy and SERS. SM-SERS is allowing the observation of subtle spectroscopic phenomena that were not hitherto accessible. Examples of the latter are natural isotopic substitutions in single molecules, observation of the true homogeneous broadening of Raman peaks, Raman excitation profiles of individual molecules, and SM electrochemistry. With background examples of the contributions produced by our group, properly interleaved with results by other practitioners in the field, we present some of the latest developments and promising new leads in this new field of spectroscopy.

“…TERS (tip-enhanced Raman scattering) is based on the intrinsic properties of plasmonic structures to enhance the generally weak Raman signal and simultaneously achieve high lateral resolution [1,2]. A combination of scanning probe techniques [AFM (atomic force microscopy) and/or STM (scanning tunnelling microscopy)] [3] with a conventional Raman microscope is used to establish the system as an analytical tool.…”

TERS (tip-enhanced Raman scattering) provides exceptional spatial resolution without any need for labelling and has become a versatile tool for biochemical analysis. Two examples will be highlighted here. On the one hand, TERS measurements on a single mitochondrion are discussed, monitoring the oxidation state of the central iron ion of cytochrome c, leading towards a single protein characterization scheme in a natural environment. On the other hand, a novel approach of single molecule analysis is discussed, again based on TERS experiments on DNA and RNA, further highlighting the resolution capabilities of this method.
