08679 IUPAC Gold Book - spatially offset Raman spectroscopy 10.1351/goldbook.08679 08679 current acronym: SORS 1 Measurement method of Raman spectroscopy in which the sample is illuminated at one location, and the Raman signal is collected from a different location on the sample surface. SORS allows chemical analysis of objects beneath diffusely scattering surfaces, such as tissue, powders and translucent plastics.
