Abstract
Histological analysis is crucial for the diagnosis of a wide variety of diseases. However, labelling of thin tissue sections can alter tissue chemistry and is greatly influenced by pre-analytic variables. Furthermore, biopsies provide a limited number of tissue sections and thus stains must be used sparingly. Total Absorption Photoacoustic Remote Sensing (TA-PARS) is an all-optical and label-free technique capable of capturing both radiative and non-radiative endogenous contrasts in cells, tissues and biomolecules. Here we present an automated full-slide TA-PARS scanning system capable of providing label-free virtually stained whole slide images with sufficient resolution (~300nm) to recover subcellular diagnostic characteristics.
