Three-dimensional molecular imaging of living organisms and cells plays a significant role in modern biology. Yet, current volumetric imaging modalities are largely fluorescence-based and thus lack chemical content information. Mid-infrared photothermal microscopy as a new chemical imaging technology provides infrared spectroscopic information at sub-micrometer spatial resolution. Here, by harnessing thermosensitive fluorescent dyes to sense the mid-infrared photothermal effect, we demonstrate mid-infrared photothermal Fourier light field (MIP-FLF) microscopy for single-shot volumetric infrared spectroscopic imaging at the speed of 8 volumes per second and sub-micron spatial resolution. Protein contents in bacteria and lipid droplets in living pancreatic cancer cells are visualized. Altered lipid metabolism in drug-resistant pancreatic cancer cells is observed with the MIP-FLF microscope.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
