Increased lipid unsaturation level in ovarian cancer cells represented by intensity ratio between 2900 and 3002 cm‒1. (A) Representative hyperspectral SRS images of flow-sorted ALDH−/CD133− and ALDH+/CD133+ COV362 cells. Images at 2900 and 3002 cm‒1, and the intensity ratio image between 3002 and 2900 cm−1 are shown. Scale bars: 10 μm. (B) Average SRS spectra from the lipid droplets in ALDH−/CD133− (n = 3) and ALDH+/CD133+ cells (n = 8). Shaded area indicates the standard deviation of SRS spectral measurement from different cells.
