Abstract
There are three main experimental techniques from which vibrational frequencies may be obtained. They are neutron inelastic scattering, infrared absorption spectroscopy, and light inelastic (Raman) scattering. In the biological field, Raman spectroscopy seems a very attractive technique since water is the best solvent for studying solutions. For example in the solid state very low frequencies can be observed in Raman without much difficulties, using triple monochromators with very low stray light [1].
