Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy is used as a label-free, nondestructive method for the direct mapping of nanometer-sized lipid and protein domains on the surface of a single cell (see graphic). Spectral unmixing allows the analysis and visualization of the different cellular surface components down to a spatial resolution of 10–20 nm.
