Abstract

Three-dimensional optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy (OR-PAM), an emerging optical-acoustic hybrid technology capable of imaging optical absorption contrasts with subcellular resolution and sensitivity, has been recognized as a valuable complement to existing optical microscopy technologies. In this chapter, we provide detailed discussion on the design and operation of OR-PAM, including the principle, system design, system configuration, system alignment, experimental procedures, laser safety, functional imaging scheme, recent technical advances, and sample biomedical applications. Future directions of OR-PAM development are also discussed at the end of this chapter.
