We report Fourier transform infrared spectro-microtomography, a nondestructive three-dimensional imaging approach that reveals the distribution of distinctive chemical compositions throughout an intact biological or materials sample. The method combines mid-infrared absorption contrast with computed tomographic data acquisition and reconstruction to enhance chemical and morphological localization by determining a complete infrared spectrum for every voxel (millions of spectra determined per…

Infrared Spectroscopic Imaging Advances as an Analytical Technology for Biomedical Sciences.

The combination of vibrational mid-infrared (IR) spectroscopy and microscopy is especially attractive since the fundamental vibrational modes of samples are coincident with optical frequencies, thereby absorbing a large fraction of incident light and providing a strong signal.
