Label-free photoacoustic ophthalmic angiography.

چکیده
We present label-free functional photoacoustic imaging of the ocular microvasculature in living animals. The anterior segment of an adult mouse was imaged with a laser exposure level well within the American National Standards Institute safety standards. Individual red blood cells traveling along the iris capillaries were clearly resolved, and the hemoglobin oxygen saturation in the iris microvasculature was imaged spectrally. We believe that photoacoustic imaging has the potential to advance the diagnosis and treatment of ocular diseases in humans.

Comprehensive in vivo micro-vascular imaging of the human eye by dual-beam-scan Doppler optical coherence angiography.
Comprehensive angiography provides insight into the diagnosis of vascular-related diseases. However, complex microvascular networks of unstable in vivo organs such as the eye require micron-scale resolution in three dimensions and a high sampling rate to access a wide area as maintaining the high resolution. Here, we introduce dual-beam-scan Doppler optical coherence angiography (OCA) as a labe...
متن کاملLabel-free photoacoustic microscopy of cytochromes.
Photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) has achieved submicron lateral resolution in showing subcellular structures; however, relatively few endogenous subcellular contrasts have so far been imaged. Given that the hemeprotein, mostly cytochromes in general cells, is optically absorbing around the Soret peak (~420 nm), we implemented label-free PAM of cytochromes in cytoplasm for the first time. By measu...
متن کاملPACM: Photoacoustic Computed Microscopy
Photoacoustic Computed Microscopy (PACM) is a new label-free microscopic method that combines current photoacoustic microscopy technique with a modelbased inverse reconstruction algorithm to provide functional images of microvasculature. This article demonstrates its in vivo imaging ability of quantifying important functional parameters at the small vessel level in a rodent model. This new tech...
متن کاملIn vivo sub-femtoliter resolution photoacoustic microscopy with higher frame rates
Microscopy based on non-fluorescent absorption dye staining is widely used in various fields of biomedicine for 400 years. Unlike its fluorescent counterpart, non-fluorescent absorption microscopy lacks proper methodologies to realize its in vivo applications with a sub-femtoliter 3D resolution. Regardless of the most advanced high-resolution photoacoustic microscopy, sub-femtoliter spatial res...
متن کاملPhotoimprint photoacoustic microscopy for three-dimensional label-free subdiffraction imaging.
Subdiffraction optical microscopy allows the imaging of cellular and subcellular structures with a resolution finer than the diffraction limit. Here, combining the absorption-based photoacoustic effect and intensity-dependent photobleaching effect, we demonstrate a simple method for subdiffraction photoacoustic imaging of both fluorescent and nonfluorescent samples. Our method is based on a dou...
