=== Morphologically-Directed Raman spectroscopy ===
Morphologically Directed Raman Spectroscopy (MDRS) combines automated particle imaging and Raman microspectroscopy into a singular integrated platform in order to provide particle size, shape, and chemical identification.<ref name="MalvernMDRS">{{Cite web|url=https://www.malvernpanalytical.com/en/products/technology/image-analysis/morphologically-directed-raman-spectroscopy|title=MDRS Morphologically Directed Raman Spectroscopy|author=[[Malvern Panalytical]]}}</ref><ref name="QualitycontrolMDRS">{{cite magazine |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |title=Introducing morphologically directed Raman spectroscopy: A powerful tool for the detection of counterfeit drugs|magazine=Quality Control|publisher=Manufacturing Chemist |date=October 2016}}</ref><ref name="SpectroscopyOnlineMDRS">{{cite news |url=https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/214330323.pdf |title=Morphologically Directed Raman Spectroscopic Analysis of Forensic Samples|date=January 2018 |work=Spectroscopy Onlinet}}</ref> Automated particle imaging determines the particle size and shape distributions of components within a blended sample from images of individual particles.<ref name="QualitycontrolMDRS" /><ref name="SpectroscopyOnlineMDRS" /> The information gathered from  automated particle imaging is then utilized to direct the Raman spectroscopic analysis.<ref name="MalvernMDRS" /> The Raman spectroscopic analytical process is performed on a randomly-selected subset of the particles, allowing chemical identification of the sample’s multiple components.<ref name="MalvernMDRS" /> Tens of thousands of particles can be imaged in a matter of minutes using the MDRS method, making the process ideal for forensic analysis and investigating counterfeit pharmaceuticals and subsequent adjudications.<ref name="QualitycontrolMDRS" /><ref name="SpectroscopyOnlineMDRS" />
