的FT-IR是一个新兴的方式对组织切片的无标记生化显像，具有在提高诊断的病理当前标准中起重要作用的潜力。目前金标准病理组织需要被活组织检查，在福尔马林中固定，石蜡包埋，切片多次，并用多种污渍。训练有素的病理学家有主观视觉评估组织结构和细胞形态，以确定诊断。这里，我们显示了如何从相同类型的段的收集高分辨率红外图像和讨论的一些计算方法来检查的细胞类型和疾病状态之间的化学差异。 此协议中的关键步骤是，以确保组织被非常仔细地集中并且该系统是公校准，以确保非常高的质量光谱数据。设置系统时，护理尤为criti<html> CAL和高放大倍率的目标工作时。为了帮助排除故障，下面的列表包括遇到的一些潜在的困难; 问题:在反射成像时，低IR强度。解决办法:检查IR幻灯片的方向作为反射涂层可以在幻灯片上的错误的一边。 问题:在蓝瑟控制低信号/红色预警信号。解决方案:酷探测器与LN2。液氮是必需的FPA探测器的功能，并要求定期被突破了。 问题:速度误差/移动的错误。解决方案:重新谱仪和减少振动。振动将导致在干涉仪的移动镜被干扰。 问题:数据水蒸气尖峰。解决方案:增加净化系统，保护样品空气。 问题:无效centerburst。解决方案:查找centerburst了。 e_content"&gt;问题:在发送低通量差，即使集中解决方案:调整底部冷凝器这将发生作为红外光不被聚焦到样品上的一个点。 在本文中，我们把重点放在如何获得在传输或transflectance方式组织高清晰度红外图像。的FT-IR成像的性质，是有可向数据采集多种修改，例如，类型的衬底，固定技术，样品的厚度，光谱分辨率，干涉仪反射镜的速度等这些参数的效果有最近4,5,17,51中广泛详细地进行了讨论。 有许多的修改，即，可以向包括在成像的ATR模式10,24,26和使用纳米级的热的方法52,53，以允许高分辨率红外成像的成像系统。具有高分辨率的红外成像的主要限制是，在Tissues必须小心制备和用于IR足够薄以穿过（一般为4微米厚）。此外，透射率和反射率的FT-IR成像需要试样保持干燥由于红外由水的吸光度。但是，FT-IR成像具有比其他技术显著的优点，在于它可以组织而导出丰富详尽生物化学信息非常迅速图像大的区域。该派生生物化学信息的无标记的方式中的类似技术包括拉曼光谱，但是数据采集的时间要慢得多，以获取图像。新拉曼成像方法正在出现，包括受激拉曼散射（SRS）和相干反斯托克斯拉曼散射（CARS）;但是，他们有机会获得有限的光谱范围，或单频成像。 在数据采集，空间分辨率，和计算方法的可用性的速度的进步已经在制造的FT-IR IMAG一直是巨大的价值荷兰国际集团翻译作为病理一种新的成像工具，比较可行的办法。在空间分辨率后的最新进展已经用于组织病理学尤其重要，因为关键细胞类型不被解析的使用常规的FT-IR成像系统。在最近的一份报告雷迪等人 。说明了如何一个理想系统获得的FT-IR成像系统5的最佳空间分辨率建模。在本文提出的肾组织的示例演示，以提取从肾小球结构（ 图3和图5）的生物化学信息的更高的空间分辨率的重要性。今后，在量子级联激光器非常明亮的红外光源的新进展54-57，三维光谱成像58，并在纳米技术，红外领域的突破52,53,59,60召开研究激动人心的新途径，可能有在组织成像的未来产生巨大影响。 <p cl屁股="jove_content"&gt;我们已经提出了在肝脏和肾脏疾病应用的例子，那里是一个需要额外的生化信息可以是诊断价值。光谱病理实验室病理学系在伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校的重点是红外成像技术的翻译对改善疾病的诊断和改善患者预后预测。 FT-IR成像可以克服一些，其中定量和客观的信息，需要在实践中病理当前限制。尤其是，今后的工作重点是查明现有技术不能提供足够的诊断敏感性或提供的信息有限，目前病理学实践领域。显然需要存在于提高病理的现行做法，并朝着到大约患者的疾病状况的病理学家，采用高清FT-IR成像这可能是实现提供更多的信息。

IR光谱已经自1930年以某种形式提供的分析工具;然而，它仅是在过去的十年中组织成像用FT-IR的面积已分解。为组织成像FT-IR的进步已经驱动了很大一部分由三个关键的发展:数据采集1）提高速度，由于大型焦平面阵列的可用性（FPA）探测器通常有数以千计的红外敏感探测器1 ，2，2）开发先进的处理算法和计算能力来处理大量高光谱数据集3和FT-IR成像系统3）造型，以最大限度地提高空间分辨率4,5。已经有不少高品质和非常广泛的文章回顾了FT-IR光谱领域最近6-16，除了自然的协议文件，详细的步骤，以取得组织17点谱或地图 ​​。在本文中，我们将重点放在普罗特ocol得到使用在改良的FT-IR系统具有高清晰度能力的128×128焦平面探测器组织的图像。 的FT-IR成像早已被建议是一个潜在的理想的工具，细胞和组织成像，由于获得的图像，其中每一个像素具有丰富的生物化学信息的能力。的FT-IR成像是基于这样的原则，一个样本中不同的生物分子将定量吸收的中红外不同区域;这允许一个"生化指纹"的推导。该指纹已被证明在许多研究不同的细胞类型和疾病状态之间改变。不像在常规病理学的做法，即污点和免疫组化标记需要被用于可视化并确定用于指导诊断和治疗选择的细胞类型和组织的结构，从FT-IR的图像是基于组织的固有生物化学形成。目前techniq用于诊断染色组织的UE是费时的，破坏性的，费力，并且需要病理学家的主观专门知识，而FT-IR提供使这个过程的快速，非破坏性，自动化程度高，并且更加客观的潜力。此外，FT-IR提供了一种新途径，以获得额外的生物化学信息使用常规的染色技术可能不容易获得。 近年来的一个最令人振奋的进展一直是高分辨率成像方法现在，可以允许细胞类型和组织的结构，这对于全面的疾病诊断至关重要的可视化和表征的可用性。这些技术之一是衰减全反射（ATR）的FT-IR结合有高折射率其允许高分辨率成像18，具有许多非常令人兴奋的研究显示其应用19-25的固体浸没透镜（SIL）。此外，它瓦特最近证明，与ATR的成像相关联的增加的空间分辨率可允许内皮细胞和肌上皮细胞的乳腺组织中形成乳腺癌诊断26的一个关键组成部分的可视化和分类 ​​。而ATR成像是非常有用的，这种技术要求的SIL，使与组织形成的FT-IR图像接触;因此，它的使用受到一定限制的组织病理组织所在的大区域必须快速成像。 第二种方法所表明的耦合的高倍率物镜到使用同步加速器作为红外线的一个明亮的源的现有的FT-IR系统中，也能够充分照亮FPA和图像的0.54 X 0.54微米的有效像素尺寸。这允许我们能够想象关键结构在乳腺癌和前列腺组织了未解析使用传统的FT-IR系统4。虽然这些大幅增加红外图像空间地得到解决ñ是令人兴奋的，它的使用由于需要同步仍然有限。接着，一个最佳系统的设计也可能允许高清晰度成像能力与1.1×1.1微米的像素大小而不同步加速器源的要求，而是使用传统globar IR源5。在本文中，我们显示如何修改现有的商用的FT-IR成像系统，以允许组织的衍射极限红外成像与使用多个红外目标（15X，36X，和74X）可接受的信噪比。随着三个目标的有效像素尺寸为5.5×5.5微米（15X），2.2×2.2微米（36X）和1.1×1.1微米（74X）。然后，我们给出的收益空间分辨率在肝脏和肾脏活检27病检测的重要性的一些例子。

High-resolution Fiber-optic Microendoscopy for in situ Cellular Imaging

Many biological and clinical studies require the longitudinal study and analysis of morphology and function with cellular level resolution. Traditionally, multiple experiments are run in parallel, with individual samples removed from the study at sequential time points for evaluation by light microscopy. Several intravital techniques have been developed, with confocal, multiphoton, and second harmonic microscopy all demonstrating their ability to be used for imaging in situ 1. With these systems, however, the required infrastructure is complex and expensive, involving scanning laser systems and complex light sources. Here we present a protocol for the design and assembly of a high-resolution microendoscope which can be built in a day using off-the-shelf components for under US$5,000. The platform offers flexibility in terms of image resolution, field-of-view, and operating wavelength, and we describe how these parameters can be easily modified to meet the specific needs of the end user.
We and others have explored the use of the high-resolution microendoscope (HRME) in in vitro cell culture 2-5, in excised 6 and living animal tissues 2,5, and in human tissues in vivo 2,7. Users have reported the use of several different fluorescent contrast agents, including proflavine 2-4, benzoporphyrin-derivative monoacid ring A (BPD-MA) 5, and fluoroscein 6,7, all of which have received full, or investigational approval from the FDA for use in human subjects. High-resolution microendoscopy, in the form described here, may appeal to a wide range of researchers working in the basic and clinical sciences. The technique offers an effective and economical approach which complements traditional benchtop microscopy, by enabling the user to perform high-resolution, longitudinal imaging in situ.

High-resolution Fiber-optic Microendoscopy for in situ Cellular Imaging

In many biological and clinical situations it is advantageous to study cellular processes as they evolve in their native microenvironment. Here we describe the assembly and use of a low-cost fiber-optic microscope which can provide real time imaging in cell culture, animal studies, and clinical patient studies.

Optical Frequency Domain Imaging of Ex vivo Pulmonary Resection Specimens: Obtaining One to One Image to Histopathology Correlation

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths1. Squamous cell and small cell cancers typically arise in association with the conducting airways, whereas adenocarcinomas are typically more peripheral in location. Lung malignancy detection early in the disease process may be difficult due to several limitations: radiological resolution, bronchoscopic limitations in evaluating tissue underlying the airway mucosa and identifying early pathologic changes, and small sample size and/or incomplete sampling in histology biopsies. High resolution imaging modalities, such as optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI), provide non-destructive, large area 3-dimensional views of tissue microstructure to depths approaching 2 mm in real time (Figure 1)2-6. OFDI has been utilized in a variety of applications, including evaluation of coronary artery atherosclerosis6,7 and esophageal intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia6,8-10.
Bronchoscopic OCT/OFDI has been demonstrated as a safe in vivo imaging tool for evaluating the pulmonary airways11-23 (Animation). OCT has been assessed in pulmonary airways16,23 and parenchyma17,22 of animal models and in vivo human airway14,15. OCT imaging of normal airway has demonstrated visualization of airway layering and alveolar attachments, and evaluation of dysplastic lesions has been found useful in distinguishing grades of dysplasia in the bronchial mucosa11,12,20,21. OFDI imaging of bronchial mucosa has been demonstrated in a short bronchial segment (0.8 cm)18. Additionally, volumetric OFDI spanning multiple airway generations in swine and human pulmonary airways in vivo has been described19. Endobronchial OCT/OFDI is typically performed using thin, flexible catheters, which are compatible with standard bronchoscopic access ports. Additionally, OCT and OFDI needle-based probes have recently been developed, which may be used to image regions of the lung beyond the airway wall or pleural surface17.
While OCT/OFDI has been utilized and demonstrated as feasible for in vivo pulmonary imaging, no studies with precisely matched one-to-one OFDI:histology have been performed. Therefore, specific imaging criteria for various pulmonary pathologies have yet to be developed. Histopathological counterparts obtained in vivo consist of only small biopsy fragments, which are difficult to correlate with large OFDI datasets. Additionally, they do not provide the comprehensive histology needed for registration with large volume OFDI. As a result, specific imaging features of pulmonary pathology cannot be developed in the in vivo setting. Precisely matched, one-to-one OFDI and histology correlation is vital to accurately evaluate features seen in OFDI against histology as a gold standard in order to derive specific image interpretation criteria for pulmonary neoplasms and other pulmonary pathologies. Once specific imaging criteria have been developed and validated ex vivo with matched one-to-one histology, the criteria may then be applied to in vivo imaging studies. Here, we present a method for precise, one to one correlation between high resolution optical imaging and histology in ex vivo lung resection specimens. Throughout this manuscript, we describe the techniques used to match OFDI images to histology. However, this method is not specific to OFDI and can be used to obtain histology-registered images for any optical imaging technique. We performed airway centered OFDI with a specialized custom built bronchoscopic 2.4 French (0.8 mm diameter) catheter. Tissue samples were marked with tissue dye, visible in both OFDI and histology. Careful orientation procedures were used to precisely correlate imaging and histological sampling locations. The techniques outlined in this manuscript were used to conduct the first demonstration of volumetric OFDI with precise correlation to tissue-based diagnosis for evaluating pulmonary pathology24. This straightforward, effective technique may be extended to other tissue types to provide precise imaging to histology correlation needed to determine fine imaging features of both normal and diseased tissues.

Optical Frequency Domain Imaging of Ex vivo Pulmonary Resection Specimens: Obtaining One to One Image to Histopathology Correlation

A method to image ex vivo pulmonary resection specimens with optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI) and obtain precise correlation to histology is described, which is essential to developing specific OFDI interpretation criteria for pulmonary pathology. This method is applicable to other tissue types and imaging techniques to obtain precise imaging to histology correlation for accurate image interpretation and assessment. Imaging criteria established with this technique would then be applicable to image assessment in future in vivo studies.

Universal Hand-held Three-dimensional Optoacoustic Imaging Probe for Deep Tissue Human Angiography and Functional Preclinical Studies in Real Time

The exclusive combination of high optical contrast and excellent spatial resolution makes optoacoustics (photoacoustics) ideal for simultaneously attaining anatomical, functional and molecular contrast in deep optically opaque tissues. While enormous potential has been recently demonstrated in the application of optoacoustics for small animal research, vast efforts have also been undertaken in translating this imaging technology into clinical practice. We present here a newly developed optoacoustic tomography approach capable of delivering high resolution and spectrally enriched volumetric images of tissue morphology and function in real time. A detailed description of the experimental protocol for operating with the imaging system in both hand-held and stationary modes is provided and showcased for different potential scenarios involving functional and molecular studies in murine models and humans. The possibility for real time visualization in three dimensions along with the versatile handheld design of the imaging probe make the newly developed approach unique among the pantheon of imaging modalities used in today&#8217;s preclinical research and clinical practice.

We provide herein a detailed description of the experimental protocol for imaging with a newly developed hand-held optoacoustic (photoacoustic) system for three-dimensional functional and molecular imaging in real time. The demonstrated powerful performance and versatility may define new application areas of the optoacoustic technology in preclinical research and clinical practice.

Multimodal Imaging and Spectroscopy Fiber-bundle Microendoscopy Platform for Non-invasive, In Vivo Tissue Analysis

Recent fiber-bundle microendoscopy techniques enable non-invasive analysis of in vivo tissue using either imaging techniques or a combination of spectroscopy techniques. Combining imaging and spectroscopy techniques into a single optical probe may provide a more complete analysis of tissue health. In this article, two dissimilar modalities are combined, high-resolution fluorescence microendoscopy imaging and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, into a single optical probe. High-resolution fluorescence microendoscopy imaging is a technique used to visualize apical tissue micro-architecture and, although mostly a qualitative technique, has demonstrated effective real-time differentiation between neoplastic and non-neoplastic tissue. Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy is a technique which can extract tissue physiological parameters including local hemoglobin concentration, melanin concentration, and oxygen saturation. This article describes the specifications required to construct the fiber-optic probe, how to build the instrumentation, and then demonstrates the technique on in vivo human skin. This work revealed that tissue micro-architecture, specifically apical skin keratinocytes, can be co-registered with its associated physiological parameters. The instrumentation and fiber-bundle probe presented here can be optimized as either a handheld or endoscopically-compatible device for use in a variety of organ systems. Additional clinical research is needed to test the viability of this technique for different epithelial disease states.

Soft Lithographic Procedure for Producing Plastic Microfluidic Devices with View-ports Transparent to Visible and Infrared Light

Infrared (IR) spectro-microscopy of living biological samples is hampered by the absorption of water in the mid-IR range and by the lack of suitable microfluidic devices. Here, a protocol for the fabrication of plastic microfluidic devices is demonstrated, where soft lithographic techniques are used to embed transparent Calcium Fluoride (CaF2) view-ports in connection with observation chamber(s). The method is based on a replica casting approach, where a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) mold is produced through standard lithographic procedures and then used as the template to produce a plastic device. The plastic device features ultraviolet/visible/infrared (UV/Vis/IR) -transparent windows made of CaF2 to allow for direct observation with visible and IR light. The advantages of the proposed method include: a reduced need for accessing a clean room micro-fabrication facility, multiple view-ports, an easy and versatile connection to an external pumping system through the plastic body, flexibility of the design, e.g., open/closed channels configuration, and the possibility to add sophisticated features such as nanoporous membranes.

A protocol for the fabrication of plastic microfluidic devices with transparent view-ports for visible and infrared light imaging is described.

Real-Time, Two-Color Stimulated Raman Scattering Imaging of Mouse Brain for Tissue Diagnosis

Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy has emerged as a powerful optical imaging technique for tissue diagnosis. In recent years, two-color SRS has been shown to be able to provide hematoxylin and eosin (H&amp;E)-equivalent images that allow fast and reliable diagnosis of brain cancer. Such capability has enabled exciting intraoperative cancer diagnosis applications. Two-color SRS imaging of tissue can be done with either a picosecond or femtosecond laser source. Femtosecond lasers have the advantage of enabling flexible imaging modes, including fast hyperspectral imaging and real-time, two-color SRS imaging. A spectral-focusing approach with chirped laser pulses is typically used with femtosecond lasers to achieve high spectral resolution. 
Two-color SRS acquisition can be realized with orthogonal modulation and lock-in detection. The complexity of pulse chirping, modulation, and characterization is a bottleneck for the widespread adoption of this method. This article provides a detailed protocol to demonstrate the implementation and optimization of spectral-focusing SRS and real-time, two-color imaging of mouse brain tissue in the epi-mode. This protocol can be used for a broad range of SRS imaging applications that leverage the high speed and spectroscopic imaging capability of SRS.

Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy is a powerful, nondestructive, and label-free imaging technique. One emerging application is stimulated Raman histology, where two-color SRS imaging at the protein and lipid Raman transitions are used to generate pseudo-hematoxylin and eosin images. Here, we demonstrate a protocol for real-time, two-color SRS imaging for tissue diagnosis.

Highly-Multiplexed Tissue Imaging with Raman Dyes

Visualizing a vast scope of specific biomarkers in tissues plays a vital role in exploring the intricate organizations of complex biological systems. Hence, highly multiplexed imaging technologies have been increasingly appreciated. Here, we describe an emerging platform of highly-multiplexed vibrational imaging of specific proteins with comparable sensitivity to standard immunofluorescence via electronic pre-resonance stimulated Raman scattering (epr-SRS) imaging of rainbow-like Raman dyes. This method circumvents the limit of spectrally-resolvable channels in conventional immunofluorescence and provides a one-shot optical approach to interrogate multiple markers in tissues with subcellular resolution. It is generally compatible with standard tissue preparations, including paraformaldehyde-fixed tissues, frozen tissues, and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) human tissues. We envisage this platform will provide a more comprehensive picture of protein interactions of biological specimens, particularly for thick intact tissues. This protocol provides the workflow from antibody preparation to tissue sample staining, to SRS microscope assembly, to epr-SRS tissue imaging.

Electronic pre-resonance stimulated Raman scattering (epr-SRS) imaging of rainbow-like Raman dyes is a new platform for highly multiplexed epitope-based protein imaging. Here, we present a practical guide including antibody preparation, tissue sample staining, SRS microscope assembly, and epr-SRS tissue imaging.

A Rapid Method for Multispectral Fluorescence Imaging of Frozen Tissue Sections

Multispectral fluorescence imaging on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues enables the detection of multiple markers in a single tissue sample that can provide information about antigen coexpression and spatial distribution of the markers. However, a lack of suitable antibodies for formalin-fixed tissues may restrict the nature of markers that can be detected. In addition, the staining method is time-consuming. Here we describe a rapid method to perform multispectral fluorescence imaging on frozen tissues. The method includes the fluorophore combinations used, detailed steps for the staining of mouse and human frozen tissues, and the scanning, acquisition, and analysis procedures. For staining analysis, a commercially available semiautomated multispectral fluorescence imaging system is used. Through this method, up to six different markers were stained and detected in a single frozen tissue section. The machine learning analysis software can phenotype cells that can be used for quantitative analysis. The method described here for frozen tissues is useful for the detection of markers that cannot be detected in FFPE tissues or for which antibodies are not available for FFPE tissues.

We describe a rapid staining method to perform multispectral imaging on frozen tissues.

Optical Photothermal Infrared-Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (OPTIR-FISH)

Understanding the metabolic activities of individual cells within complex communities is critical for unraveling their role in human disease. Here, we present a comprehensive protocol for simultaneous cell identification and metabolic analysis with the OPTIR-FISH platform by combining rRNA-tagged FISH probes and isotope-labeled substrates. Fluorescence imaging provides cell identification by the specific binding of rRNA-tagged FISH probes, while OPTIR imaging provides metabolic activities within single cells by isotope-induced red shift on OPTIR spectra. Using bacteria cultured with 13C-glucose as a test bed, the protocol outlines microbial culture with isotopic labeling, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), sample preparation, optimization of the OPTIR-FISH imaging setup, and data acquisition. We also demonstrate how to perform image analysis and interpret spectral data at the single-cell level with high throughput. This protocol&#39;s standardized and detailed nature will greatly facilitate its adoption by researchers from diverse backgrounds and disciplines within the broad single-cell metabolism research community.
