Long-term Brillouin imaging of live cells with reduced photodamage at 660nm wavelength reveals cell mechanical response to environmental cues (Conference Presentation)
Paper Abstract
In Brillouin microscopy, absorption-induced photodamage of incident light is the primary limitation on signal-to-noise ratio in many practical scenarios. 660 nm may represent an optimal wavelength for Brillouin microscopy as it offers minimal absorption-mediated photodamage at high Brillouin scattering efficiency. We demonstrate that live cells are ~80 times less susceptible to the 660 nm incident light compared to 532 nm light, which overall allows Brillouin imaging with more than 30 times higher signal intensity. We apply this improved Brillouin microscope to analyze the response of human glioblastoma cells to a range of in vitro biomimetic environments.
