Nonlinear Raman microscopy for biomedical applications(Workshop on microscopy, biology, medicine, and advanced CMOS imagers)

Abstract

Nonlinear Raman imaging enables high-speed visualization of the biomolecules without staining. We have developed a multimodal microscopy and an endoscopy systems observing nonlinear Raman scattering. The developed systems are applied to the imaging of atherosclerosis legion. The performances of label-free imaging are demonstrated. Lock-in image sensor for parallel excitation/detection of stimulated Raman imaging is also demonstrated.
