TL;DR: Mid-infrared optoacoustic microscopy is developed for label-free, bond-selective, live-cell metabolic imaging, enabling spatiotemporal monitoring of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins in cells and tissues.

TL;DR: Progress with fast-tuning lasers, parallel detection and advanced image reconstruction and data-processing algorithms have recently transformed optoacoustics from a laboratory tool to a promising modality for small animal and clinical imaging.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a miniaturized optoacoustic sensor, based on a π-phase-shifted fiber Bragg grating embedded in an acoustic cavity, which can be seamlessly integrated into any conventional optical microscope.

TL;DR: High-fidelity optoacoustic images can now be obtained using cost-efficient lasers with light intensity modulated at discrete frequencies, and the authors demonstrated imaging of structural details from fish and mouse tissue microvasculature, by superimposing structural details that only appear at certain frequencies.
