Coherent anti-stokes Raman scattering microscopy: instrumentation, theory, and application
Article Abstract:
Coherent anti-stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy permits vibrational imaging with high-sensitivity, high speed, and three-dimensional spatial resolution. CARS microscopy is especially advantageous in imaging small molecules such as lipid, hormones, and drug molecules for which fluorescence labeling is prone to alter their functions in cells and tissues.

An epi-detected coherent anti-stokes raman scattering (E-CARS) microscope with high spectral resolution and high sensitivity
Article Abstract:
Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy using two synchronized picoseconds lasers has not only spectral resolution but also higher sensitivity than the previous femtosecond experiment because of the favorable signal-to-background ratio. CARS can improve sensitivity for three-dimensional vibrational imaging of living cells.

Chemical imaging of photoresists with coherent anti-stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy
Article Abstract:
Discussing the capabilities of coherent anti-stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy for the rapid characterization of polymer photoresists are presented. It is concluded that the vibrational sensitivity of the CARS microscope allows visualization of the polymeric photoresists with chemical contrast.
