| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
IR microscope is a powerful tool to measure molecular images of biological samples based on molecular information. However, microscopic objects such as biological cells cannot be measured by conventional IR microscope, because of its low spatial resolution about 10 μm. To overcome this problem, we have developed a novel type of IR super-resolution microscope based on vibrational sum-frequency generation detection. The application of this IR microscope to the biological samples was also carried out in this project.
