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.

Synchrotron FTIR shows evidence of DNA damage and lipid accumulation in prostate adenocarcinoma PC-3 cells following proton irradiation

TL;DR: In this paper, a single human prostate adenocarcinoma PC-3 cells, irradiated with a defined number of 2 MeV protons generated by a proton microbeam along with non-irradiated control cells, were analysed using multivariate methods.

From synthetic to biogenic Mg-containing calcites: a comparative study using FTIR microspectroscopy.

TL;DR: This work characterise for the first time systematically synthetic and biogenic Mg-containing calcium carbonate samples (especially sea urchin teeth--SUT) in detail by using two FTIRM instruments and compare these samples with KBr pellet FTIR measurements.

Isolating stem cells in the inter-follicular epidermis employing synchrotron radiation-based Fourier-transform infrared microspectroscopy and focal plane array imaging

TL;DR: This study exploited the cell’s inherent biochemical composition to discriminate SCs of the inter-follicular skin epidermis based on IR-derived markers based on position-derived infrared spectral fingerprints to highlight PO2− vibrational modes as potential putative SC markers.

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.
