Abstract
In recent studies, stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) and transient absorption microscopy (TAM) have been employed for label-free mapping of biomolecules (e.g., proteins and lipids) in brain tissues and hemoglobin in red blood cells, respectively. In this study, we combined SRS and TAM to simultaneously image cell densities and capillary structure in vivo at the highest reported imaging depth, ~300 µm, for either technique. This multimodal approach resulted in label-free identification of endothelial cells and pericytes in vivo with 90% accuracy using a machine learning classifier. Simultaneous two-photon excited fluorescence microscopy serving as the ground truth.
