There is a desperate need for a fast, non-contact, non-invasive, safe and accurate technique that can measure oxygen saturation, oxygen metabolic activity, and multilayered histology-like information. Quickly acquiring in-situ microscope images of disease morphology and oxygen metabolic activity can play a vital role in understanding, and better treating, several diseases including cancers and vision loss. To achieve this, Histological and Functional Photoacoustic Remote Sensing (HF-PARS) microscopy is being developed to provide a quick, easy-to-use, reliable, and high resolution non-contact photo-acoustic based microscopy. This can easily be incorporated into current patient care and improve diagnosis and treatment these diseases.
