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.

Dynamic full-field infrared imaging with multiple synchrotron beams.

TL;DR: High chemical sensitivity, rapid acquisition times, and superior signal-to-noise characteristics of the instrument are demonstrated, and the unique characteristics of this setup enabled the real-time study of heterogeneous chemical dynamics with diffraction-limited spatial resolution for the first time.

Synchrotron infrared nano-spectroscopy and -imaging

TL;DR: Synchrotron infrared nano-spectroscopy (SINS) as discussed by the authors is a recent technique for near-field infrared measurements across the mid-to far-infrared with nanometer spatial resolution.

Chemical structure and morphology of dorsal root ganglion neurons from naive and inflamed mice.

TL;DR: In this paper, a ring-shaped distribution of lipid and/or carbohydrate enrichment in subpopulations of neurons has been identified, which has never before been reported, indicating that the inflammatory-mediated increase in lipid content is largely dependent on TRPA1.

Hyperspectral Tissue Image Segmentation Using Semi-Supervised NMF and Hierarchical Clustering

TL;DR: An HSI pixel classification method that uses semi-supervised learning for both spectral dimension reduction and hierarchical pixel clustering is developed and it is shown that disease classification is straightforward after HSI image segmentation.

Toward optimal spatial and spectral quality in widefield infrared spectromicroscopy of IR labelled single cells.

TL;DR: The effects of magnification, spatial oversampling, spectral pre-processing and deconvolution are demonstrated, focusing on the intracellular detection and distribution of an exogenous metal tris-carbonyl derivative 1 in a single MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell.

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.
