In our contribution we focus on the sensitive biochemical and functional imaging of human tissue samples with the help of synchrotron-based FTIR-microspectroscopy. FTIR-microspectroscopy is an optical non-invasive technique and has proven to be a fast diagnostic readout tool for multiplexed analysis of biomolecules, mainly in the biomedical field. Measurements were performed at the Metrology Light Source (MLS) of the PTB, an unique low-energy electron storage ring that provides broad-band synchrotron radiation. In our systematic approach we studied the MIR signatures of human benign and malign prostate tissue samples in the spectral range from 900 cm^-1 to 3900 cm^-1 under implementation of brilliant synchrotron radiation and globar source in the reflection mode. For a reliable clinical diagnosis with respect to distinct localization of benign and malign tissue areas, a sensitive detection of tissue samples with/without biomarkers is very important. Additionally, spectral quality, i.e., high S/N-ratios in spectral datasets and their correction by Mie scattering algorithms are needed. We will discuss the results of Mie-corrected MIR signatures of prostate tissues and evaluate their classification by multivariate statistics.
