Tip‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy combines scanning probe techniques with Raman spectroscopy. Latest developments permit the chemical mapping of individual adsorbed molecules by monitoring molecular vibrations with sub‐nanometer resolution. Increased efficiency and reduced photodegradation make this method suitable for studies of adsorbed organic and biomolecules in surface science, catalysis, biochemistry, and related fields.
