An optical-resolution photoacoustic microscope with modulated CW laser diodes allowing multi-channel imaging is presented that can be used for both imaging biological tissues and for targeted photo-dynamic therapy (PDT) varying the optical power and exposure time. The effects of this therapy are immediately monitored in order to optimize the time of irradiation. After the description of the experimental setup, and applications are presented on a synthetic sample and on the mouse ear using hemoglobin as endogenous and methylene blue as exogenous dye for imaging and PDT, respectively.

Brown carbon and internal mixing in biomass burning particles.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A

September 2012

NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory, Chemical Sciences Division, 325 Broadway, Boulder, CO 80304, USA.

Biomass burning (BB) contributes large amounts of black carbon (BC) and particulate organic matter (POM) to the atmosphere and contributes significantly to the earth's radiation balance. BB particles can be a complicated optical system, with scattering and absorption contributions from BC, internal mixtures of BC and POM, and wavelength-dependent absorption of POM. Large amounts of POM can also be externally mixed.
