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.

Single-Cell Metabolomics: Analytical and Biological Perspectives

Renato Zenobi
- 06 Dec 2013 - 
TL;DR: The fact that single-cell measurements exhibited a much larger spread in metabolite concentrations than population measurements was exploited to determine many metabolite-metabolite correlations, which were altered in 2DG-treated yeast cells relative to controls.

Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy identifies symmetric PO(2)(-) modifications as a marker of the putative stem cell region of human intestinal crypts.

TL;DR: νsPO2−, probably associated with DNA conformational alterations, might facilitate a means of identifying stem cells, which may have utility in other tissues where the location of stem cells is unclear, and points to a novel approach of nondestructively identifying a tissue's stem cell location.
