High-resolution Fourier-transform infrared chemical imaging with multiple synchrotron beams

TLDR
This advance allows truly diffraction-limited high-resolution imaging over the entire mid-infrared spectrum with high chemical sensitivity and fast acquisition speed while maintaining high-quality SNR.
Abstract
Conventional Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) microspectroscopic systems are limited by an inevitable trade-off between spatial resolution, acquisition time, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and sample coverage. We present an FTIR imaging approach that substantially extends current capabilities by combining multiple synchrotron beams with wide-field detection. This advance allows truly diffraction-limited high-resolution imaging over the entire mid-infrared spectrum with high chemical sensitivity and fast acquisition speed while maintaining high-quality SNR.

FTIR imaging, a useful method for studying the compatibility of silk fibroin-based polymer blends

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used FTIR imaging to study the phase behavior of three silk protein-based polymer blends, including Silk Fibroin/chitosan (SF/CS), Silk Fibrosin/sodium alginate (SSA), Silk fibroin and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and Silk fibrosin and pVA.

Synchrotron infrared measurements of protein phosphorylation in living single PC12 cells during neuronal differentiation.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that protein phosphorylation in individual living mammalian cells can be measured with synchrotron radiation-based Fourier transform-infrared (SR-FT-IR) spectromicroscopy, and the multimolecule sensitivity of this technique will be useful for unraveling the associated molecular changes during cellular signaling and response processes.

Two-Dimensional Correlation Spectroscopy for Multimodal Analysis of FT-IR, Raman, and MALDI-TOF MS Hyperspectral Images with Hamster Brain Tissue

TL;DR: Two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2DCOS) is introduced as a novel technique for jointly analyzing HSI data which allows one to obtain deeper insights into the chemistry of complex samples by decrypting auto- and heterospectral correlations that may exist between features of the different H SI data.

Dirac charge dynamics in graphene by infrared spectroscopy

TL;DR: In this article, an infrared spectromicroscopy study of charge dynamics in graphene integrated in gated devices is presented, which reveals significant departures of the quasiparticle dynamics from predictions made for Dirac fermions in idealized, free-standing graphene.

Near-field probing of vibrational absorption for chemical microscopy

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate the use of the apertureless approach to scan near field optical microscopy to obtain contrast in vibrational absorption on a scale of about 100 nanometres, about one-hundredth of a wavelength.

Sea urchin spine calcite forms via a transient amorphous calcium carbonate phase.

TL;DR: It is shown that sea urchin spine regeneration proceeds via the initial deposition of amorphous calcium carbonate, which may have interesting implications for the development of sophisticated materials.
