Abstract
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been a powerful 3D optical imaging tool in the last decade while it lacks molecular information. In this work, we integrate the mid-infrared photothermal microscopy with the OCT approach to demonstrate a bond-selective full-field optical coherence tomography (BS-FF-OCT), in which a pulsed mid-infrared laser is used to modulate the full-field OCT signal through the photothermal effect. This method achieves label-free volumetric infrared spectroscopic imaging at 1-μm isotropic resolution, demonstrated by a variety of samples, including 1 μm PMMA beads embedded in agarose gel, polypropylene fiber mattress, myelinated nerve bundle in mouse brain tissue, Caenorhabditis elegans, and cancer cell spheroids.
