Abstract In vivo IR spectroscopy faces challenges due to poor sensitivity in reflection mode and low resolution at micrometer scale. To break this barrier, we report an oblique photothermal microscope (OPTM) enable ultrasensitive spectroscopic imaging of live subjects sub-micron resolution. Classic measurement captures only a small fraction probe photons through pinhole extract the signal. Instead, OPTM uses differential split detector placed on sample surface collect 500-fold more suppress laser noise by 12 fold via balanced detection. Leveraging its improved sensitivity, enables low-dose skin without photodamage. Depth-resolved metabolic markers beneath mouse human is shown. Furthermore, demonstrate tracking topical drug contents within skin. Collectively, presents highly sensitive platform for situ molecular analysis.

Mid-infrared photothermal (MIP) microscopy is an emerging tool for biological imaging, offering high sensitivity, subcellular resolution, and rapid image acquisition. However, the MIP signal of low concentration molecules in systems often hindered or masked by background absorption, largely contributed water, resulting from H–O–H scissors-bending band fingerprint window bend-libration combination cell-silent window. To preserve all desired signals while suppressing background, we report a single-shot time-resolved measurement that allows differentiation between analyte based on their distinct dynamics. The results show thermal decay significantly longer than intracellular signal, mainly due to larger mass heat capacity water compared those features. Through two-component exponential fitting, successfully differentiated suppressed preserving both windows. By leveraging dynamics differences obtained measurement, effectively remove enhance detection small system.
