Abstract

We demonstrated the potential of applying infrared spectroscopy for neuroscience by increasing both the spatial resolution and the specificity of chemical structure analysis in tissues and cells, thus overcoming the current limitations of conventional fluorescence microscopy and infrared microspectroscopy. Specifically, we used a novel instrumental setup that combines optical photothermal infrared spectroscopy (OPTIR) with an epifluorescent imaging module (EF) to allow IR spectroscopic analysis of fluorescently microglia cells surrounding amyloid plaques in comparison to microglial cells in amyloid-free tissue. We have demonstrated the capability of EF-OPTIR microscopy to locate specific cells and amyloid proteins and assess amyloid structures with sub-micron spatial resolution.
