Fast nonlinear spectral microscopy of in vivo human skin
نویسندگان
چکیده
An optimized system for fast, high-resolution spectral imaging of in vivo human skin is developed and evaluated. The spectrograph is composed of a dispersive prism in combination with an electron multiplying CCD camera. Spectra of autofluorescence and second harmonic generation (SHG) are acquired at a rate of 8 kHz and spectral images within seconds. Image quality is significantly enhanced by the simultaneous recording of background spectra. In vivo spectral images of 224 × 224 pixels were acquired, background corrected and previewed in real RGB color in 6.5 seconds. A clear increase in melanin content in deeper epidermal layers in in vivo human skin was observed.

Visualize susceptibility information with third harmonic generation microscopy and spectroscopy
Third harmonic generation (THG) microscopy and spectroscopy was a modality suitable for in vivo clinical imaging and molecular analysis, due to their characteristics of high penetration depth, high resolution, and no energy deposition [1]. Our previous study indicated that THG spectra depend on nonlinear susceptibility (χ3), which is related to the absorption characteristics of a molecule, due ...

This paper compares tandem scanning reflected light confocal microscopy and multi-photon excitation microscopy for the observation of human skin in vivo. Tandem scanning confocal light microscopy based on a white light source can provide video-rate image acquisition from the skin surface to the epidermal-dermal junction. Multi-photon excitation is induced by a 80 MHz pulse train of femtosecond ...
