Using Raman microspectroscopy, you can get information regarding the chemical composition of bacterial cells .

I agree with the previous answers.

Spontaneous Raman, coherent anti-Stokes Raman (CARS), and stimulated Raman (SRS) can all be used for imaging of bacteria with high sensitivity, high spatial resolution, non-invasiveness, and three-dimensional sectioning capability.

X. Sunney Xie's group has done a lot of study. One of the earliest was published in 1999, as attached here:
