Stimulated Raman scattering microscopy and spectroscopy with a rapid scanning optical delay line
Abstract:
Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy that is capable of both high-speed imaging and rapid spectroscopy will be advantageous for detailed chemical analysis of heterogeneous biological specimens. We have developed a system based on spectral focusing SRS technology with the integration of a rapid scanning optical delay line, which allows continuous tuning of SRS spectra by scanning a galvo mirror. We demonstrate SRS spectral measurements of dimethyl sulfoxide solution at low concentrations and multi-color imaging of rice pollens and HeLa cells with line-by-line delay tuning to reduce motion artifacts, as well as fast acquisition of SRS spectra at specific regions of interest.

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...
Raman Spectroscopy: Overview
However, a small fraction of the scattered light exhibits a frequency shift due to the exchange of energy between the incident photons and...
