Bond-Selective Imaging of Cells by Mid-Infrared Photothermal Microscopy in High Wavenumber Region

Abstract: Using a visible beam to probe the thermal effect induced by infrared absorption, mid-infrared photothermal (MIP) microscopy allows bond-selective chemical imaging at submicron spatial resolution. Current MIP microscopes cannot reach the high wavenumber region due to the limited tunability of the existing quantum cascade laser source. We extend the spectral range of MIP microscopy by difference frequency generation (DFG) from two chirped femtosecond pulses. Flexible wavelength tuning in both C-D and C-H regions… Show more

“…The concept of dynamic photothermal changes in morphology (34,35), force (36,37), or near-field coupling (38)(39)(40), using an atomic force microscope cantilever as local probe, has been reported for point-by-point IR measurements. Noncontact optical photothermal microscopy is more recent (41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47)(48)(49)(50) and typically utilizes a local IR illumination coincident with a highly focused visible probe beam to measure local refractive index change by beam scattered out of the angular acceptance of the objective lens. This method has been applied to chemical imaging of tissue and live cells (44,46,47), bacteria (48), and pharmaceutical tablets (49).…”

“…IR imaging is limited by the water absorption and low spatial resolution, even though recent concepts have improved on the spatial resolution. 2 As an alternative, coherent Raman scattering (CRS) imaging has been used, but fastest implementations are based on imaging the distribution of a single vibrational Raman resonance only, instead of the full or a significant part of the vibrational spectrum, thereby significantly reducing the molecular information. This is due to the fact that changes in the spectral shape or shifts in the peak position cannot be extracted from few images but require spectral information.…”

“…The thermal effect of laser irradiation is so small that could not damage or destroy the irradiated tissue. Such fiber lasers are widely used in therapy [41][42][43], diagnostics [44][45][46], cosmetics [40,42], and research [47,48]. The second group refers to the thermal response and members of this group are often called ablative fiber lasers.…”
