| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
As basic data, I constructed an optical system with a single detection element, and then acquired data on the detection limit level of this system. A microscopic optical system was constructed, and two colors of light were incident coaxially, and detections were performed in an arrangement that allows observation of a region of several tens of micro meter. Through the precise design of the optical system, I was able to develop a single-channel inverse Raman microscope that can detect intensity changes of 0.06% or less in near real time (2 seconds). Using this device, I succeeded in microscopic observation of a sample using oil droplets in an aqueous solution as a model substance for lipids by this reverse Raman measurement system. In the next step, I replaced a single element with a CMOS-type ultra-high-speed two-dimensional detector, and replaced the optical system with the aim of creating an imaging-type inverse Raman microscope.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
細胞内のタンパク質や小分子の分布、特にその動的過程は細胞の機能を調べる上で非常に重要である。生きた細胞を非侵襲、非標識で直接観測することができれば極めて有効な手段となる。ラマン分光法は原理的にはこのような目的には最適であるが、感度が低くまた積算時間がかかることが壁となってきていた。近年格段に進歩してきた、高繰り返しレーザと高速検出器を活用して、逆ラマン分光法という非線形現象を利用することで、これらの難点を克服できると考え研究を進めた。細胞内の生命現象をライブで捉えて観察できることは、細胞生物学のステージを上げることに繋がり、がん細胞の形成過程など疾病治療への道も開ける。
