A subset of photoacoustic tomography, photoacoustic microscopy is an imaging technique based on the photoacoustic effect.Photoacoustic microscopy makes use of the increase in local temperature brought on by the absorption of light by tissue.
A high-frequency ultrasound transducer can detect the wide-band acoustic wave released by tissues as a result of thermoelastic expansion caused by a nanosecond pulsed laser beam.
Photoacoustic microscopy can provide high-resolution images at greater depths than traditional microscopy techniques because ultrasonic scattering in tissue is weaker than optical scattering.
Also, due to its scalability, photoacoustic microscopy is particularly helpful in the field of biological imaging. The lateral resolution may be tuned for the required imaging depth by altering the optical and acoustic foci.
Contrast is based on photon excitation in photoacoustic imaging modalities, such as photoacoustic microscopy, and is consequently influenced by the optical characteristics of the tissue.
An electron shifts to a higher energy state when it absorbs a photon. The electron experiences either radiative or nonradiative relaxation after descending in energy.
The electron releases energy in the form of a photon during radiative relaxation. An electron, however, that is going through nonradiative relaxation loses energy in the form of heat.
The pressure rise caused by the heat is then transmitted as a photoacoustic wave. Photoacoustic microscopy can image a wide spectrum of endogenous and exogenous agents because practically all molecules are capable of nonradiative relaxation.
In contrast, the number of molecules that can undergo radiative relaxation is limited, which restricts the use of fluorescence microscopy methods like one-photon and two-photon microscopy.
Both endogenous and exogenous contrast agents are currently being used in photoacoustic microscopy studies to obtain functional data about the body, ranging from cancer proliferative rates to blood saturation levels.
The Global Photoacoustic microscope market accountedfor $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
A hybrid in vivo imaging approach called photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) uses the photoacoustic effect to acoustically detect optical contrast.
In contrast to pure optical microscopic methods, PAM overcomes the optical diffusion limit (1 mm in soft tissue) by taking advantage of the tissue's modest acoustic scattering.
PAM can deliver high-resolution images at desired maximum imaging depths up to a few millimetres thanks to its great scalability. In contrast to optical coherence tomography and backscattering-based confocal microscopy, PAM offers absorption contrast rather than scattering contrast.
Additionally, compared to fluorescence-based techniques like wide-field, confocal, and multi-photon microscopy, PAM can observe more molecules, whether they are endogenous or exogenous, at their absorption wavelengths.
The ability to concurrently image anatomical, functional, molecular, flow dynamic, and metabolic differences in vivo is what makes PAM so essential. This Article addresses the primary characteristics of PAM implementations and their uses, with a focus on cutting-edge advances in PAM.
