Exploiting the optical absorption of hemoglobin, photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) has achieved label-free imaging of the microvasculature in vivo and enabled simultaneous quantification of blood oxygenation and flow. However, the axial resolution of PAM is limited to the mesoscopic level due to the finite bandwidth of detected ultrasound signals. To address this limitation, we have developed a super-resolution functional PAM technique based on spatiotemporal tracking of red blood cells, which enables label-free functional microvascular imaging in 3D at the single-cell level. We have demonstrated the utility of this technique by imaging the mouse brain’s responses to a single-vessel stroke in 3D.
