摘要
This work reports the first images obtained by combining an infrared aperture scanning near-field optical microscope (SNOM) with a quantum cascade laser (QCL). The future potential of this set-up is demonstrated by a preliminary study on an OE33 human oesophageal adenocarcinoma cell in which the cell is imaged at 1751 cm(-1), 1651 cm(-1), 1539 cm(-1) and 1242 cm(-1). In addition to the 1651 cm(-1) image, three other images were acquired within the Amide I band (1689 cm(-1), 1675 cm(-1) and 1626 cm(-1)) chosen to correspond to secondary structures of proteins. The four images obtained within the Amide I band show distinct differences demonstrating the potential of this approach to reveal subtle changes in the chemical composition of a cell.
