Stimulated Raman imaging with chemical probes for subcellular bioanalysis (Conference Presentation)

Abstract

Innovations in optical spectroscopy and microscopy have revolutionized our understanding in biological systems at sub-cellular levels. In this talk, I will discuss about our recent development by coupling stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy with chemical probes that could allow new subcellular bioanalysis in live cells. The introduced tags offer additional SRS contrast channel for quantification of biological contents that were previously difficult. Both physical and chemical principles underlying the optical microscopy will be presented, as well as our efforts in biomedical applications including cancer- and neuronal- metabolism.
