Dual‐polarization Raman spectral imaging to extract overlapping molecular fingerprints of living cells 下载免费PDF全文
Liang‐da Chiu Almar F. Palonpon Nicholas I. Smith Satoshi Kawata Mikiko Sodeoka Katsumasa Fujita 《Journal of biophotonics》2015,8(7):546-554
Raman spectral imaging is gaining more and more attention in biological studies because of its label‐free characteristic. However, the discrimination of overlapping chemical contrasts has been a major challenge. In this study, we introduce an optical method to simultaneously obtain two orthogonally polarized Raman images from a single scan of the sample. We demonstrate how this technique can improve the quality and quantity of the hyperspectral Raman dataset and how the technique is expected to further extend the horizons of Raman spectral imaging in biological studies by providing more detailed chemical information.

We present a hybrid dual‐wavelength optoacoustic and ultrasound bio‐microscope capable of rapid transcranial visualization of morphology and oxygenation status of large‐scale cerebral vascular networks. Imaging of entire cortical vasculature in mice is achieved with single capillary resolution and complemented by simultaneously acquired pulse‐echo ultrasound microscopy scans of the mouse skull. The new approach holds potential to facilitate studies into neurological and vascular abnormalities of the brain. Further details can be found in the article by Johannes Rebling, Héctor Estrada, Sven Gottschalk, et al. ( e201800057 ).

Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIm) and Raman spectroscopy are two promising methods to support morphological intravascular imaging techniques with chemical contrast. Both approaches are complementary and may also be used in combination with OCT/IVUS to add chemical specificity to these morphologic intravascular imaging modalities. In this contribution, both modalities were simultaneously acquired from two human coronary specimens using a bimodal probe. A previously trained SVM model was used to interpret the fluorescence lifetime data; integrated band intensities displayed in RGB false color images were used to interpret the Raman data. Both modalities demonstrate unique strengths and weaknesses and these will be discussed in comparison to histologic analyses from the two coronary arteries imaged.

Over the past years it had been demonstrated that multimodal imaging combining the nonlinear modalities coherent anti‐Stokes Raman scattering (CARS), two‐photon excited auto‐fluorescence (TPEF) and second harmonic generation (SHG) show a great potential for tissue diagnosis and tumor identification. To extend the applicability of this multimodal imaging approach for in‐vivo tissue screening of difficult to access body regions the development of suitable fiber optic probes is required. Here we report about a novel CARS imaging fiber probe consisting of 10,000 coherent light guiding elements preserving the spatial relationship between the entrance and the output of the fiber. Therefore the scanning procedure can be shifted from the distal to the proximal end of the fiber probe and no moving parts or driving current are required to realize in‐vivo CARS endoscopy.

Multispectral optoacoustic and MRI coregistration for molecular imaging of orthotopic model of human glioblastoma 下载免费PDF全文
Ghayathri Balasundaram Hui Chien Tay Neal C. Burton Kai‐Hsiang Chuang Vasilis Ntziachristos Malini Olivo 《Journal of biophotonics》2016,9(7):701-708
Multi‐modality imaging methods are of great importance in oncologic studies for acquiring complementary information, enhancing the efficacy in tumor detection and characterization. We hereby demonstrate a hybrid non‐invasive in vivo imaging approach of utilizing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography (MSOT) for molecular imaging of glucose uptake in an orthotopic glioblastoma in mouse. The molecular and functional information from MSOT can be overlaid on MRI anatomy via image coregistration to provide insights into probe uptake in the brain, which is verified by ex vivo fluorescence imaging and histological validation.

Mechanisms of renal autoregulation generate oscillations in arterial blood flow at several characteristic frequencies. Full‐field laser speckle flowmetry provides a real‐time imaging of superficial blood microcirculation. The possibility to detect changes in oscillatory dynamics is an important issue in biomedical applications. In this paper we show how laser power density affects quality of the recorded signal and improves detectability of temporal changes in microvascular perfusion.

Photodamage, induced by femtosecond laser radiation, was studied in thick samples of human skin tissue (healthy skin and neoplastic lesions). Photobleaching, photoionization, and thermomechanical damage effects were characterized comparatively. The laser power dependence of the damage rates allowed to connect macroscopic effects to underlying molecular processes. Optical effects were correlated to histopathological changes. Tissue alterations were found only from thermomechanical cavitation and limited to superficial layers of the epidermis. From the depth‐dependencies of all damage thresholds a depth‐dependent power‐compensation scheme was defined allowing for damage‐free deep tissue optical biopsy.

Optical hyperspectral imaging in microscopy and spectroscopy – a review of data acquisition 下载免费PDF全文
Rather than simply acting as a photographic camera capturing two‐dimensional (x, y) intensity images or a spectrometer acquiring spectra (λ), a hyperspectral imager measures entire three‐dimensional (x, y, λ) datacubes for multivariate analysis, providing structural, molecular, and functional information about biological cells or tissue with unprecedented detail. Such data also gives clinical insights for disease diagnosis and treatment. We summarize the principles underpinning this technology, highlight its practical implementation, and discuss its recent applications at microscopic to macroscopic scales.

A study of polarized light transport in scattering media exhibiting directional anisotropy or linear birefringence is presented in this paper. Novel theoretical and experimental methodologies for the quantification of birefringent alignment based on out‐of‐plane polarized light transport are presented here. A polarized Monte Carlo model and a polarimetric imaging system were devised to predict and measure the impact of birefringence on an impinging linearly polarized light beam. Ex‐vivo experiments conducted on bovine tendon, a biological sample consisting of highly packed type I collagen fibers with birefringent property, showed good agreement with the analytical results.

Multi‐modal acousto‐optic/ultrasound imaging of ex vivo liver tumors at 790 nm using a Sn2P2S6 wavefront adaptive holographic setup 下载免费PDF全文
Jean‐Baptiste Laudereau Emilie Benoit à La Guillaume Vincent Servois Pascale Mariani Alexander A. Grabar Mickaël Tanter Jean‐Luc Gennisson François Ramaz 《Journal of biophotonics》2015,8(5):429-436
Biological tissues are very strong light‐scattering media. As a consequence, current medical imaging devices do not allow deep optical imaging unless invasive techniques are used. Acousto‐optic imaging is a light‐ultrasound coupling technique that takes advantage of the ballistic propagation of ultrasound in biological tissues to access optical contrast with a millimeter resolution. We have developed a photorefractive‐crystal‐based system that performs self‐adaptive wavefront holography and works within the optical therapeutic window. As it works at an appropriate wavelength range for biological tissues imaging, it was tested on ex vivo liver samples containing tumors as a pre‐clinical study. Optical contrast was obtained even if acoustical one was not significant.

A wearable scanning photoacoustic imaging (wPAI) system is presented for noninvasive brain study in behaving rats. This miniaturized wPAI system consists of four pico linear servos and a single transducer‐based PAI probe. It has a dimension of 50 mm × 35 mm × 40 mm, and a weight of 26 g excluding cablings. Phantom evaluation shows that wPAI achieves a lateral resolution of ~0.5 mm and an axial resolution of ~0.1 mm at a depth of up to 11 mm. Its imaging ability is also tested in a behaving rat, and the results indicate that wPAI is able to image blood vessels at a depth of up to 5 mm with intact scalp and skull. With its noninvasive, deep penetration, and functional imaging ability in behaving animals, wPAI can be used for behavior, cognition, and preclinical brain disease studies.

In vivo nonlinear optical imaging to monitor early microscopic changes in a murine cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma model 下载免费PDF全文
Giju Thomas Johan van Voskuilen Hoa Truong Hans C. Gerritsen H.J.C.M. Sterenborg 《Journal of biophotonics》2015,8(8):668-680
Early detection of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) can enable timely therapeutic and preventive interventions for patients. In this study, in vivo nonlinear optical imaging (NLOI) based on two‐photon excitation fluorescence (TPEF) and second harmonic generation (SHG), was used to non‐invasively detect microscopic changes occurring in murine skin treated topically with 7,12‐dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA). The optical microscopic findings and the measured TPEF‐SHG index show that NLOI was able to clearly detect early cytostructural changes in DMBA treated skin that appeared clinically normal. This suggests that in vivo NLOI could be a non‐invasive tool to monitor early signs of cSCC.

Near‐infrared (NIR) radiation has been employed using one‐ and two‐photon excitation of fluorescence imaging at wavelengths 650–950 nm (optical window I) for deep brain imaging; however, longer wavelengths in NIR have been overlooked due to a lack of suitable NIR‐low band gap semiconductor imaging detectors and/or femtosecond laser sources. This research introduces three new optical windows in NIR and demonstrates their potential for deep brain tissue imaging. The transmittances are measured in rat brain tissue in the second (II, 1,100–1,350 nm), third (III, 1,600–1,870 nm), and fourth (IV, centered at 2,200 nm) NIR optical tissue windows. The relationship between transmission and tissue thickness is measured and compared with the theory. Due to a reduction in scattering and minimal absorption, window III is shown to be the best for deep brain imaging, and windows II and IV show similar but better potential for deep imaging than window I.

Optical brain stimulation gained a lot of attention in neuroscience due to its superior cell‐type specificity. In the design of illumination strategies, predicting the light propagation in a specific tissue is essential and requires knowledge of the optical properties of that tissue. We present the estimated absorption and reduced scattering in rodent brain tissue using non‐destructive contact spatially resolved spectroscopy (cSRS). The obtained absorption and scattering in the cortex, hippocampus and striatum are similar, but lower than in the thalamus, leading to a less deep but broader light penetration profile in the thalamus. Next, the light distribution was investigated for different stimulation protocols relevant for fiber‐optic based optogenetic experiments, using Monte Carlo simulation. A protocol specific analysis is proposed to evaluate the potential of thermally induced side effects.

Subcellular measurements of mechanical and chemical properties using dual Raman‐Brillouin microspectroscopy 下载免费PDF全文
Zhaokai Meng Sandra C. Bustamante Lopez Kenith E. Meissner Vladislav V. Yakovlev 《Journal of biophotonics》2016,9(3):201-207
Brillouin microspectroscopy is a powerful technique for noninvasive optical imaging. In particular, Brillouin microspectroscopy uniquely allows assessing a sample's mechanical properties with microscopic spatial resolution. Recent advances in background‐free Brillouin microspectroscopy make it possible to image scattering samples without substantial degradation of the data quality. However, measurements at the cellular‐ and subcellular‐level have never been performed to date due to the limited signal strength. In this report, by adopting our recently optimized VIPA‐based Brillouin spectrometer, we probed the microscopic viscoelasticity of individual red blood cells. These measurements were supplemented by chemically specific measurements using Raman microspectroscopy.

Wide‐field hyperspectral 3D imaging of functionalized gold nanoparticles targeting cancer cells by reflected light microscopy 下载免费PDF全文
Sergiy Patskovsky Eric Bergeron David Rioux Michel Meunier 《Journal of biophotonics》2015,8(5):401-407
We present a new hyperspectral reflected light microscopy system with a scanned broadband supercontinuum light source. This wide‐field and low phototoxic hyperspectral imaging system has been successful for performing spectral three‐dimensional (3D) localization and spectroscopic identification of CD44‐targeted PEGylated AuNPs in fixed cell preparations. Such spatial and spectral information is essential for the improvement of nanoplasmonic‐based imaging, disease detection and treatment in complex biological environment. The presented system can be used for real‐time 3D NP tracking as spectral sensors, thus providing new avenues in the spatio‐temporal characterization and detection of bioanalytes.

Inside Front Cover: Enhanced volumetric imaging in 2‐photon microscopy via acoustic lens beam shaping (J. Biophotonics 2/2018) 下载免费PDF全文
Simonluca Piazza Paolo Bianchini Colin Sheppard Alberto Diaspro Martí Duocastella 《Journal of biophotonics》2018,11(2)
Two‐photon microscopy is the tool of choice for fluorescence imaging of deep tissues with high resolution, but can be limited in three‐dimensional acquisition speed and penetration depth. In this work, these issues are addressed by using an acoustic optofluidic lens capable of ultrafast beam shaping on a pixel basis. Driving the lens with different phase profiles enables high‐speed volumetric imaging, or enhanced signal‐to‐background for deeper penetration. Further details can be found in the article by Simonluca Piazza et al. ( e201700050 )

Inside Cover: Fiber‐based fluorescence lifetime imaging of recellularization processes on vascular tissue constructs (J. Biophotonics 9/2018) 下载免费PDF全文

Tissue autofluorescence provides fluorescence lifetime contrast between acellular tissue and that containing newly seeded cells. Fiber‐based fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIm) can be used for tracking recellularization of engineered vascular grafts and potential matrix remodeling at large scale, without compromising sample integrity. FLIm cellular contrast was verified in a subset of samples seeded with eGFP‐labelled cells. Results suggests fiberbased FLIm is a suitable tool for monitoring recellularization of engineered tissue nondestructively. Further details can be found in the article by Alba Alfonso‐Garcia, Jeny Shklover, Benjamin E. Sherlock, et al. ( e201700391 ).
