Abstract
Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) is a powerful, label-free imaging technique that holds significant potential for medical imaging. To allow chemical specificity and minimize spectral distortion in the imaging of live species, a high-speed multiplex SRS imaging platform is needed. By combining a spectral focusing excitation technique with a rapid acousto-optic delay line, we demonstrate a hyperspectral SRS imaging platform capable of measuring a 3-dB spectral window of within 12.8 μs with a scan rate of 30 KHz. We present hyperspectral images of a mixture of two different microsphere polymers as well as live fungal cells mixed with human blood.
