Time-encoded stimulated Raman scattering microscopy of tumorous human pharynx tissue in the fingerprint region from 1500-1800 cm.

Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy for biomedical analysis can provide a molecular localization map to infer pathological tissue changes. Compared to spontaneous Raman, SRS achieves much faster imaging speeds at reduced spectral coverage. By targeting spectral features in the information dense fingerprint region, SRS allows fast and reliable imaging.
