Experimental set up for SRS microscope and controls for lipid and protein channels. (A) The Stokes laser is modulated by an electro-optical modulator (EOM) at 20 MHz. Tunable laser is spectrally dispersed through glass rods (tunable) and Stokes laser is dispersed through a grating stretcher (GS). They are the spatially and temporally overlapped at a dichroic mirror (DCM) and directed onto a pair of galvanomirrors (GM). The beams are then sent through a laser scanning microscope with a 25x water immersion objective. The pump beam after the condenser is detected by a photodiode (PD). The signal is processed through lock-in amplifier (LIA). The images are collected using ScanImage on computer processing unit (CPU). (B) SRS spectra for oleic acid and bovine serum albumin (BSA) as controls for lipids and proteins, respectively.
