Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy allows for sensitive molecular vibrational imaging and is opening up a variety of biomedical applications. To fully utilize the capability of SRS, we developed a multicolor SRS microscope, which is capable of acquiring SRS images at the video rate, while the wavenumber can be changed in a frame-by-frame manner. Also our system is integrated with a confocal fluorescence microscope. I will introduce various vibrational imaging applications such as label-free imaging, supermultiplex imaging, metabolic imaging, and so on. We also describe functional Raman probes, which will further broaden the applications of SRS microscopy.
