(online color at: www.biophotonics-journal.org) Bond-selective VPA imaging to differentiate lipid and protein. (A) VPA spectra of butter fat and rat tail tendon. (B–C) B-scan VPA imaging of butter fat – tendon phantom using 1640 nm (B) and 1730 nm (C) excitation. (D–E) VPA images at selected x-z plane under 1640 nm (D) and 1730 nm (E) excitation. (F) Merged image. (G–H) VPA images at selected x-y plane in adventitia under 1640 nm (G) and 1730 nm (H) excitation. (I) Merged image. Scale bars: 1 mm.
