Visualizing living cells and tissues ~label-free multi-color imaging using nonlienar Raman spectroscopy~

Abstract

Molecular fingerprints act as natural contrasts to biomolecules. Vibrational spectroscopic imaging using molecular fingerprints, i.e., molecular fingerprinting, is opening new opportunities to reveal cellular machinery and enable molecule-based diagnosis. In this talk, I will introduce biomedical spectroscopic imaging using the coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) process.
