“…The LIBS technique has been employed for chemical imaging with element-specific spatial contrast (''element imaging'') of many different materials 1 including biological samples, [2][3][4] ceramics, 5 metal coatings, 6 metals, [7][8][9][10][11] nanoparticles, 12,13 Li-ion solid-state electrolytes, 14,15 printed circuit boards, 16 and thin films. 17 The achievable spatial resolution depends on the size of the ablation crater.…”

Femtosecond laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (fs-LIBS) is employed to detect tiny amounts of mass ablated from macroscopic specimens and to measure chemical images of microstructured samples with high spatial resolution. Frequency-doubled fs-pulses (length 400 fs, wavelength 520 nm) are tightly focused with a Schwarzschild microscope objective to ablate the sample surface. The optical emission of laser-induced plasma (LIP) is collected by the objective and measured with an echelle spectrometer equipped with an intensified charge-coupled device camera. A second fs-laser pulse (1040 nm) in orthogonal beam arrangement is reheating the LIP. The optimization of the experimental setup and measurement parameters enables us to record single-pulse fs-LIBS spectra of 5 nm thin metal layers with an ablated mass per pulse of 100 femtogram (fg) for Cu and 370 fg for Ag films. The orthogonal double-pulse fs-LIBS enhances the recorded emission line intensities (two to three times) and improves the contrast of chemical images in comparison to single-pulse measurements. The size of ablation craters (diameters as small as 1.5 µm) is not increased by the second laser pulse. The combination of minimally invasive sampling by a tightly focused low-energy fs-pulse and of strong enhancement of plasma emission by an orthogonal high-energy fs-pulse appears promising for future LIBS chemical imaging with high spatial resolution and with high spectrochemical sensitivity.

“…Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is an atomic emission spectrometry technique with many advantages such as no or less sample pretreatment, simultaneous multi-element analysis, almost non-destructive detection, and online in situ analysis. 5,6 LIBS has been applied in medicine, [7][8][9] agriculture, 10,11 criminal investigation, [12][13][14] archeology, [15][16][17] and coal analysis. [18][19][20] Unfortunately, its accuracy would be decreased due to matrix differences.…”

A homemade spectral shift fluorescence microscope (SSFM) is coupled with a spectrometer to record the spectral images of specimens based on the emission wavelength. Here a reliable diagnosis of neoplasia is achieved according to the spectral fluorescence properties of ex-vivo skin tissues after Rd6G staining. It is shown that certain spectral shifts occur for nonmelanoma/melanoma lesions against normal/benign nevus, leading to spectral micrographs. In fact, there is a strong correlation between the emission wavelength and the sort of skin lesions, mainly due to the Rd6G interaction with the mitochondria of cancerous cells. The normal tissues generally enjoy a significant red shift regarding laser line. Conversely, plenty of fluorophores are conjugated to unhealthy cells giving rise to a relative blue shift against normal tissues or a smaller redshift with respect to the excitation wavelength. Consequently, three data sets are available in the form of micrographs, addressing pixel by pixel signal intensity, emission wavelength, and fluorophore concentration of specimens for prompt diagnosis.
