Using QCLs for MIR-Based Spectral Imaging — Applications in Tissue Pathology
A quantum cascade laser (QCL) microscope allows for fast data acquisition, real-time chemical imaging and the ability to collect only spectral frequencies of interest. Due to their high-quality, highly tunable illumination characteristics and excellent signal-to-noise performance, QCLs are paving the way for the next generation of mid-infrared (MIR) imaging methodologies.

Efficient Spectroscopic Imaging Demonstrated In Vivo
Although optical spectroscopy is routinely used study molecules in cell samples, it is currently not practical to perform in vivo. Now, a converted Raman spectroscopy system has been used to reveal the chemical composition of living tissues in seconds.
