The vibrational modes of molecules provide an intrinsic contrast mechanism for identifying
components in cells, tissues, and organisms. When excited by a laser, Raman scattered …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) provides structural and biochemical support to cells within
tissues. An emerging body of evidence has established that the ECM plays a key role in cell …

The preparation, staining, visualization and interpretation of histological images of tissue is
well accepted as the gold standard process for the diagnosis of disease. These methods …

Recent developments of compact white-light supercontinuum laser sources are reviewed.
Basically these sources make use of a sub-nanosecond microchip laser and a photonic …

In this work, we developed a circular dichroism (CD) imaging microscope with a device to
suppress the commingling of linear birefringence (LB) and linear dichroism (LD) signals. CD …

This is a review of relevant Raman spectroscopy (RS) techniques and their use in structural
biology, biophysics, cells, and tissues imaging towards development of various medical …

We demonstrate near shot-noise limited hyperspectral stimulated Raman scattering (SRS)
spectroscopy using oscillator-only excitation conditions. Using a fast CMOS camera …

In situ characterization of the chemical and structural properties of black and white sheep
hair was performed with a spatial resolution of 25 nm using infrared nano-spectroscopy …

Coherent Raman scattering microscopy such as coherent anti‐Stokes Raman scattering and
stimulated Raman scattering microscopy boosts the weak Raman signal and enables us to …

Human hair has three main regions, the medulla, the cortex and the cuticle. An existing
model for the cortex suggests that the α-keratin-based intermediate filaments (IFs) align with …
