Quantitative Stimulated Raman Scattering Microscopy: From Molecules to Animals
Tue, Feb 14, 2023 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST
Dan Fu, Ph.D., from the University of Washington highlights the capability of stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy in imaging various molecules in heterogenous samples from simple mixtures to living cells and animals. He then shares the challenges in quantitative analysis with SRS imaging due to scattering, as well as potential solutions in leveraging water as an internal standard. With continuous improvement in imaging resolution, sensitivity, and specificity, SRS is poised to play an important role in biomedical imaging.
Innovations in Interferometry: Fourier Transform Spectroscopy in the Palm of Your Hand
Wed, Feb 15, 2023 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EST
Alex Barker of NIREOS shares how a common-path visible interferometer functions, as well as the counterintuitive ways in which it differs from a dispersion-based spectrometer. In a short time, these instruments have been used for a startling variety of spectroscopic experiments, such as time-resolved fluorescence, pump-probe spectroscopy, and stimulated Raman scattering. Using these examples, Barker demonstrates the advantages and disadvantages that common-path visible interferometers provide.
