Photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) provides a new method for the imaging of small-animals with high-contrast and deep-penetration. However, the established PAM systems have suffered from a limited field-of-view or imaging speed, which are difficult to both monitor wide-field activity of organ and record real-time change of local tissue. Here, we reported a dual-raster-scanned photoacoustic microscope (DRS-PAM) that integrates a two-dimensional motorized translation stage for large field-of-view imaging and a two-axis fast galvanometer scanner for real-time imaging. The DRS-PAM provides a flexible transition from wide-field monitoring the vasculature of organs to real-time imaging of local dynamics. To test the performance of DRS-PAM, clear characterization of angiogenesis and functional detail was illustrated, hemodynamic activities of vasculature in cerebral cortex of a mouse were investigated. Furthermore, response of tumor to treatment were successfully monitored during treatment. The experimental results demonstrate the DRS-PAM holds the great potential for biomedical research of basic biology.
光声显微镜(PAM)为小动物的高对比度和深穿透成像提供了一种新方法。然而,已建立的 PAM 系统受到有限的视场或成像速度的限制,这使得同时监测器官的宽场活动和记录局部组织的实时变化变得困难。在这里,我们报告了一种双光栅扫描光声显微镜(DRS-PAM),它集成了二维电动平移台用于大视场成像和两轴快速振镜扫描仪用于实时成像。DRS-PAM 提供了从宽场监测器官血管到实时成像局部动态的灵活转换。为了测试 DRS-PAM 的性能,清楚地说明了血管生成的特征和功能细节,研究了小鼠大脑皮层血管的血液动力学活动。此外,成功地在治疗过程中监测了肿瘤对治疗的反应。实验结果表明,DRS-PAM 具有用于基础生物学的生物医学研究的巨大潜力。
