Chemical microscopy based on molecular fingerprints provides the mapping of biomolecules in living systems. Recent advances in chemical imaging technologies, such as coherent anti-stokes Raman scattering microscopy, stimulated Raman scattering microscopy, transient absorption microscopy, infrared photothermal microscopy, and novel chemical imaging probes, enable high-speed, high-resolution, high-specificity spectroscopic imaging of living systems, which has significantly promoted biological discovery, disease diagnosis and treatment.
This Research Topic aims to highlight recent progress in the development of chemical microscopy technologies and their applications in life science. This Research Topic calls for the experts in the field of optical imaging, analytical chemistry, life science, medicine, and data science to discuss the most recent breakthroughs and look forward to the future of this exciting field.
Original Research papers and Review articles are both welcome. Topics we specifically seek to cover but are not limited to the following technologies and their applications:
• Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering microscopy;
• Stimulated Raman scattering microscopy;
• Transient absorption microscopy;
• Photothermal and photoacoustic microscopy;
• Linear and nonlinear infrared microscopy;
• Second-harmonic, third harmonic, and sum-frequency microscopy;
• New advances in spontaneous Raman microscopy;
• Advanced data mining methods for chemical microscopy;
• Machine learning in chemical microscopy;
• Novel molecular probes for chemical imaging.
