It must be kept in mind that this general area of nonthermal effects is far from being a mature, well-developed subdiscipline of electromagnetic field effects on biological systems. The material presented in this chapter was selected with the intent of suggesting new protocols, both experimental and theoretical, that will possibly further the development of this field.

The further types of applications (Table 3) are more or less primary results of laboratory experiments showing first possibilities for biotechnological purposes. Anyway this will be the beginning of a new era of electromagnetic field effects of importance in the future. (Table 3). 

Thin film of metal clusters enable other types of surface enhancement, one of these is the surface enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) spectroscopy. The enhancement is an addition of electromagnetic field effects and chemical effects, therefore highly dependent on the distance to the cluster layer and on the nano-structure of the cluster layer. In fact most studies done point out that the effect is very short ranged and only applicable to the first monolayer adsorbed to the surface. Compared to standard infrared spectroscopy and Surface enhanced Raman scattering SEIRA has a remarkable signal to noise ratio and the... 

Local electromagnetic field effects on certain roughened materials (e.g., Ag, Au, and Cu) enhance the Raman signal by factors of up to 10 and make detection of monolayers straightforward [35], Enhanced Raman spectra that are 10 -10 as strong as normal Raman scattering were reported for pyridine [36].
