| Research Abstract |
In the present research, we have developed new molecular imaging system which allows us to measure spectral change of the Raman signal with high sensitivity and high spatial resolution. Based on the coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) process, we have visualized lipid cells and yeast cells. The CARS image of a yeast cell can be successfully obtained within 12 sec, by which dynamical behavior inside of the cell can also be visualized.
