CHEMICAL MICROSCOPY OF LIVING CELLS:
A NEW WAY TO ELUCIDATING THE RULES OF
LIFE
Until now, understanding of the exceptionally fast and selective chemical re-
actions occurring inside single living cells has been very limited, partly be-
cause conventional chemical assays essentially treat the cell, a highly dynamic
structure, as a static bag of molecules. Using intrinsic signals from molecular
spectroscopy, highly sensitive chemical imaging of living cells offers a way to
circumvent the challenge. This presentation will show most recent innovations
in instrumentation and data science that allowed real-time volumetric chemical
imaging of living systems. Several advanced modalities including coherent Ra-
man scattering microscopy, transient absorption microscopy and mid-infrared
photo thermal microscopy will be discussed. Applications of these modalities
to cancer biology, neuroscience and infectious diseases will be highlighted.
