Abstract
There is an unmet need for fast virtual histology technologies that exhibit histological realism and can scan large sections of fresh tissue within intraoperative time-frames. Ultraviolet photoacoustic remote sensing microscopy (UV-PARS) is an emerging imaging modality capable of producing virtual histology images that show good concordance to conventional histology stains. However, a UV-PARS scanning system that can perform rapid intraoperative imaging over mm-scale fields-of-view at fine resolution (<500 nm) has yet to be demonstrated. In this work, we present a UV-PARS system which utilizes voice-coil stage scanning to demonstrate finely resolved images for 2×2 mm2 areas at 500 nm sampling resolution in 1.33 minutes and coarsely resolved images for 4×4 mm2 areas at 900 nm sampling resolution in 2.5 minutes. The results of this work demonstrate the speed and resolution capabilities of the UV-PARS voice-coil system and further develop the potential for UV-PARS microscopy to be employed in a clinical setting.
