Abstract
Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy offers label-free, high-speed measurements of small molecules in living cells and tissues, holding promise for potential biomedical applications such as drug screening and therapeutic drug monitoring. Nevertheless, with conventional SRS microscopy, fluctuations in the background Raman signal from cells and tissues limit quantitative measurements at drug concentrations below a few mM. Here we present novel SRS microscopy using temporal filtering combined with a phase-locking technique to break the detection limit due to the background Raman signals. We demonstrate that the new phase-locked system enables drug measurements at sub millimolar concentrations with linear calibration curves.
