Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
We investigate label-free measurement of molecular distribution by super-resolved Raman microscopy using surface plasmon (SP) localization. Localized SP was formed with plasmonic nanopost arrays (PNAs) for measurement of the molecular distribution in HeLa cells. Compared with conventional Raman microscopy on gold thin films, PNAs induce a localized near-field, which allows for the enhancement of the peak signal-to-noise ratio by as much as 4.5 dB in the Raman shifts. Super-resolved distributions of aromatic amino acids and lipids (C-C stretching and C-H-2 twist mode) as targets in HeLa cells were obtained after image reconstruction. Results show almost 4-fold improvement on average in the lateral precision over conventional diffraction-limited Raman microscopy images. Combined with axial imaging in an evanescent field, the results suggest an improvement in optical resolution due to superlocalized light volume by more than an order of magnitude over that of conventional diffraction-limited Raman microscopy.
