Real‐time mid‐infrared imaging of living microorganisms

Abstract: The speed and efficiency of quantum cascade laser‐based mid‐infrared microspectroscopy are demonstrated using two different model organisms as examples. For the slowly moving Amoeba proteus, a quantum cascade laser is tuned over the wavelength range of 7.6 µm to 8.6 µm (wavenumbers 1320 cm–1 and 1160 cm–1, respectively). The recording of a hyperspectral image takes 11.3 s whereby an average signal‐to‐noise ratio of 29 is achieved. The limits of time resolution are tested by imaging the fast moving Caenorhabdit… Show more

“…Thus, Raman microspectroscopy subsequently opened up the possibility of a cultivation‐independent analysis of single microbial cells. Consequently, many studies in recent times have established the utility of infrared and Raman microspectroscopy for a fast and reliable detection and identification of microorganisms with clinical, industrial or environmental relevance .…”

“…Similar scenes repeatedly appear in successive frames in a UAV video because of a high number of frame per seconds (fps) (at least 24 fps) [10,11]. Thus, key frame selection is required to reduce computational time for stitching images among nearly same visual information.…”
