<div><font face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">Spectra of molecules
embedded in helium droplets provide a unique insight into
superfluidity on an atomic scale. Liquid helium is also a
versatile, extremely cold matrix for assembling and studying of atomic
and molecular clusters. In this talk spectroscopic
manifestations of superfluidity in helium droplets will be discussed.
Raman spectroscopic experiments aimed at the observation of
superfluidity in liquid hydrogen will also be reviewed.</font><br>
