Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Optics
  • Spectroscopy
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Live-cell analysis requires minimally invasive techniques.
  • Conventional surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) endoscopy can cause cell stress and photodamage.
  • Targeting specific cellular compartments for SERS analysis is challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel live-cell SERS endoscopy technique using plasmonic nanowire waveguides.
  • To enable remote excitation for reduced photodamage and low-background spectra.
  • To analyze specific cell compartments with high fidelity.

Main Methods:

  • Plasmonic nanowire waveguides were fabricated and integrated into endoscopic probes.
  • The probes were used for live-cell SERS analysis, with remote excitation employed.
  • Cellular stress and photodamage were assessed during probe insertion and excitation.

Main Results:

  • Probe insertion did not induce significant stress to the cells.
  • Remote excitation yielded low-background SERS spectra from specific cellular compartments.
  • Minimal photodamage was observed compared to conventional methods.

Conclusions:

  • The developed SERS endoscopy technique is suitable for non-invasive live-cell analysis.
  • Remote excitation is a key factor in achieving high-quality SERS spectra with reduced photodamage.
  • This technology offers a promising tool for detailed cellular studies.
