Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy can resolve the chemical components and distribution of living biological systems in a label-free manner and is favored in several disciplines. Current CARS microscopes typically use bulky, high-performance solid-state lasers, which are expensive and sensitive to environmental changes. With their relatively low cost and environmental sensitivity, supercontinuum fiber (SF) lasers with a small footprint have found increasing use in biomedical applications. Upon these features, in this paper, we homebuilt a lowcost CARS microscope based on a SF laser module (scCARS microscope). This SF laser module is specially customized by adding a time-synchronized seed source channel to the SF laser to form a dual-channel output laser. The performance of the scCARS microscope is evaluated with dimethyl sulfoxide, whose results confirm a spatial resolution of better than 500 nm and a detection sensitivity of millimolar concentrations. The dual-color imaging capability is further demonstrated by imaging different species of mixed microspheres. We finally explore the potential of our scCARS microscope by mapping lipid droplets in different cancer cells and corneal stromal lenses.

Early diagnosis and fast detection with a high accuracy rate of lung cancer are important to improve the treatment effect. In this research, an early fast diagnosis and in vivo imaging method for lung adenocarcinoma are proposed by collecting the spectral data from normal and patients' cells/tissues, such as Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-vis absorbance, and fluorescence spectra using anthocyanin. The FTIR spectra of human normal lung epithelial cells (BEAS-2B cells) and human lung adenocarcinoma cells (A549 cells) were collected. After the data is cleaned, a feature selection algorithm is used to select important wavelengths, and then, the classification models of support vector machine (SVM) and the grid search method are used to select the optimal model parameters (accuracy: 96.89% on the training set and 88.57% on the test set). The optimal model is used to classify all samples, and the accuracy is 94.37%. Moreover, the anthocyanin was prepared and used for the intracellular absorbance and fluorescence, and the optimized algorithm was used for classification (accuracy: 91.38% on the training set and 80.77% on the test set). Most importantly, the in vivo cancer imaging can be performed using anthocyanin. The results show that there are differences between lung adenocarcinoma and normal lung tissues at the molecular level, reflecting the accuracy, intuitiveness, and feasibility of this algorithm-assistant anthocyanin imaging in lung cancer diagnosis, thus showing the potential to become an accurate and effective technical means for basic research and clinical diagnosis.

Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy has the ability of noninvasive imaging of specific chemical bonds and been increasingly used in biomedicine in recent years. Two pulsed Gaussian beams are used in traditional SRS microscopes, providing with high lateral and axial spatial resolution. Because of the tight focus of the Gaussian beam, such an SRS microscopy is difficult to be used for imaging deep targets in scattering tissues. The SRS microscopy based on Bessel beams can solve the imaging problem to a certain extent. Here, we establish a theoretical model to calculate the SRS signal excited by two Bessel beams by integrating the SRS signal generation theory with the fractal propagation method. The fractal model of refractive index turbulence is employed to generate the scattering tissues where the light transport is modeled by the beam propagation method. We model the scattering tissues containing chemicals, calculate the SRS signals stimulated by two Bessel beams, discuss the influence of the fractal model parameters on signal generation, and compare them with those generated by the Gaussian beams. The results show that, even though the modeling parameters have great influence on SRS signal generation, the Bessel beams-based SRS can generate signals in deeper scattering tissues.

Scattering is a huge challenge for microscopic imaging. Indeed, it is difficult to observe target chemicals in scattering media by means of the current Gaussian beam-based stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy, since the tight focus of the Gaussian beam is destroyed after propagating through a certain distance. Bessel beams, featuring self-reconstructing property, may bring a solution to this problem. By combining Bessel beams with SRS microscopy, we can probe the SRS signal from a scattering medium. In this paper, using the beam propagation method, we first simulate the propagation of the Bessel beam as well as the generation and self-reconstruction of SRS signals. By adding glass beads along the beam propagation path in order to simulate scattering, the propagation of the Bessel beams and the generation of the SRS signals will change. Then, we design a series of simulations to investigate the influence of the size, position, number, and distribution of the added glass beads on the generation of the SRS signals. A preliminary experiment is also carried out to confirm the simulation predictions. Results demonstrate that the SRS signals can be generated or be recovered at a certain depth in scattering media, and that such signals are greatly affected by the parameters of the scatters.
