Raman microspectroscopy is widely used for musculoskeletal tissues studies. But the fluorescence background obscures prominent Raman bands of mineral and matrix components of bone tissue. A 532-nm laser irradiation has been used efficiently to remove the fluorescence background from Raman spectra of cortical bone. Photochemical bleaching reduces over 80% of the fluorescence background after 2 h and is found to be nondestructive within 40 min. The use of electron multiplying couple charge detector (EMCCD) enables to acquire Raman spectra of bone tissues within 1-5 s range and to obtain Raman images less than in 10 min.
