Here we present a webinar on the emerging applications of Stimulated Raman Scattering Microscopy, covering the following topics:

Key Learnings

Quantitative spectroscopic imaging of label-free or chemically tagged specimens: From cell and tissue biology to medical research, materials science, and microfabrication
Probing 3D cellular model systems (organoids) and tissues for preclinical & translational research in cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, immunology, and digestive disorders
Multi-modal confocal nonlinear optical microscopy, combining CARS, SRS, Second-Harmonic Generation, and 2-Photon Fluorescence for advanced tissue-based diagnostics
Monitoring tissue penetration of pharmacological and cosmetic compounds
