Abstract
High throughput wide-field second harmonic imaging enables the label-free imaging of interfacial (< 3 nm thick) water, with a spatial resolution of ~370 nm using ~100 ms acquisition times per image. The obtained interfacial orientational order of water can be used to create spatiotemporal transmembrane potential maps of free-standing lipid membranes, giant unilamellar vesicles or living cells. These maps are then used to uniquely quantify membrane-water interactions, which show surprisingly heterogeneous behavior which sheds new light on processes such as ion transport, ion channel operation and membrane deformation.
