Label-free imaging of trabecular meshwork cells using Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CARS) microscopy
PURPOSE To image the human trabecular meshwork (TM) using a non-invasive, non-destructive technique without the application of exogenous label. METHODS Flat-mounted TM samples from a human cadaver eye were imaged using two nonlinear optical techniques: coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) and two-photon autofluorescence (TPAF). In TPAF, two optical photons are simultaneously absorbed ...
متن کاملNon-contact, Label-free Monitoring of Cells and Extracellular Matrix using Raman Spectroscopy
Non-destructive, non-contact and label-free technologies to monitor cell and tissue cultures are needed in the field of biomedical research.(1-5) However, currently available routine methods require processing steps and alter sample integrity. Raman spectroscopy is a fast method that enables the measurement of biological samples without the need for further processing steps. This laser-based te...
متن کاملDynamic nano-imaging of label-free living cells using electron beam excitation-assisted optical microscope
Optical microscopes are effective tools for cellular function analysis because biological cells can be observed non-destructively and non-invasively in the living state in either water or atmosphere condition. Label-free optical imaging technique such as phase-contrast microscopy has been analysed many cellular functions, and it is essential technology for bioscience field. However, the diffrac...
متن کاملDifferentiating atherosclerotic plaque burden in arterial tissues using femtosecond CARS-based multimodal nonlinear optical imaging
A femtosecond CARS-based nonlinear optical microscope was used to simultaneously image extracellular structural proteins and lipid-rich structures within intact aortic tissue obtained from myocardial infarction-prone Watanabe heritable hyperlipidemic rabbits (WHHLMI). Clear differences in the NLO microscopic images were observed between healthy arterial tissue and regions dominated by atheroscl...
متن کاملImaging of Histological Sections of the Human Intestine by Multimodal Cars Microscope
We demonstrate the capabilities of the coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscope and its multimodal operation to image a histological section of human intestinal tissue. The imaging of unstained and stained sections using various nonlinear optical contrasts was performed. The CARS configuration of our microscope allows probing which does not require a preliminary staining of tissu...
