Abstract
A combination of multispectral photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) by a single light source was previously realized discretely; however, this is unfavorable for visualizing vital physiological and pathological activities in vivo. Here, a co-impulse dual-mode imaging system that simultaneously enables multispectral PAM and OCT using a megahertz supercontinuum pulse laser in vivo is presented. The 500–600 nm band is used for functional PAM imaging, which can flexibly switch between different wavelengths, while the 600–840 nm band is selected for OCT imaging. A mimicking phantom experiment and in vivo imaging of normal and melanoma mouse ears demonstrate that the co-impulse multispectral PAM-OCT system can simultaneously provide structural and functional information for bioimaging.
