Abstract

According to an example, an apparatus for performing spectroscopy includes a structure having an opening. The apparatus also includes a plurality of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) elements positioned within the structure and a porous membrane covering the opening and the plurality of SERS elements. The porous membrane is to allow a predetermined analyte to reach the SERS elements while substantially preventing other analytes from reaching the SERS elements.
