Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CARS) microscopy allows
noninvasive 3D imaging of live cells based on vibrational
contrast intrinsic to cell's molecular species. Through developments
of new laser sources, improvement of detection sensitivity
and data acquisition speed, and theoretical understanding
of the contrast mechanism, CARS microscopy has matured as
a powerful tool for bioimaging. Applications of CARS microscopy
to various biomedical problems are beginning to emerge. Our
latest results will be presented after an overview is given.
