video: This shows blood-flow in real time. SRS movie tuned into CH3 stretching vibration of proteins and lipids (2950 cm-1) acquired in transmission in a mouse ear. This movie shows a Y-shaped junction of blood capillaries with individual red blood cells. The size of the movie is 100 µm with 512 x 512 sampling. Frame acquisitions time is 37 ms. This video relates to an article that appeared in the Dec. 3, 2010, issue of Science, published by AAAS. The study, by Dr. Brian Saar, at Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass., and colleagues was titled, "Video-Rate Molecular Imaging in Vivo with Stimulated Raman Scattering." view more
