Abstract
An improved method of remote optical absorption spectroscopy and hyperspectral optical absorption imaging is described which takes advantage of the photoacoustic remote sensing detection architecture. A wide collection of photoacoustic excitation wavelengths ranging from 210 nm to 1550 nm was provided by a nanosecond tunable source allowing access to various salient endogenous chromophores such as DNA, hemeproteins, and lipids. Sensitivity of the device was demonstrated by characterizing the infrared absorption spectrum of water. Meanwhile, the efficacy of the technique was explored by recovering cell nuclei and oxygen saturation from a live chicken embryo model and by recovering adipocytes from freshly resected murine adipose tissue. This represents a continued investigation into the characteristics of the hyperspectral photoacoustic remote sensing technique which may represent an effective means of non-destructive endogenous contrast characterization and visualization.
