A summary of what is presently known from cometary vibrational spectroscopy is presented, along with some possible results to be anticipated from future non-sample-return cometary missions which, however, will leave a number of key questions unanswered. It is suggested that major efforts have to be made in the laboratory to properly prepare the analysis of returned cometary samples. Particular attention is given to Raman spectroscopy of cometary analogs (frozen gases and irradiated organic materials), performed applying sufficiently low laser power so as not to significantly alter the sample. Also discussed are attempts to use REELS, which may yield information not only on the elemental composition of the sample but also on its optical constants, especially in the FUV.
