Faster CARS, Less Damage: NIST Chemical Microscopy Shows Potential for Cell Diagnostics

Caption

B-CARS chemical imaging: Test cells from a mouse as seen in an optical microscope image (l.), and using B-CARS (r.). The CARS image detects specific molecules to highlight the cell nucleus (green) and intracellular fluid (blue). Images show an area approximately 40 micrometers across. B-CARS image represents approx. 17,000 individual spectra.
