This review highlights the recent applications of non-linear optical (NLO) microscopy to study obesity-related health risks. A strong emphasis is given to the applications of coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy where multiple non-linear optical imaging modalities including CARS, sum-frequency generation (SFG), and two-photon fluorescence are employed simultaneously on a single microscope platform. Specific examples on applications of NLO microscopy to study lipid-droplet biology, obesity-cancer relationship, atherosclerosis, and lipid-rich biological structures are discussed.

Multimodal microscopy combines multiple non-linear techniques that take advantage of different optical processes to generate contrast and increase the amount of information that can be obtained from biological samples. However, the most advanced optical architectures are typically custom-made and require complex alignment procedures, as well as daily maintenance by properly trained personnel for optimal performance. Here, we describe a hybrid system we constructed to overcome these disadvantages by modifying a commercial upright microscope. We show that our multimodal imaging platform can be used to seamlessly perform two-photon STED, wavelength mixing and label-free microscopy in both ex vivo and in vivo samples. The system is highly stable and endowed with remote alignment hardware that ensures simplified operability for non-expert users. This optical architecture is an important step forward towards a wider practical applicability of non-linear optics to bioimaging.

All complexes exhibit negative values of γreal (corresponding to self-defocusing behaviour) and significant positive values of γimag (corresponding to two-photon absorption) at short wavelengths (up to 1000 nm). The maximal values of γreal and γimag increase in magnitude on dendrimer generation increase (proceeding from 2 to 4 or 3 to 5). The open-aperture Z-scan results have been used to confirm and contrast the two-photon (2PA) and three-photon absorption (3PA) behaviour of 1–5, the data being consistent with the existence of 2PA at the short wavelength range, but with significant 3PA at longer wavelengths for 1–3 and 5, a record 3PA coefficient for an inorganic complex for 5 at 1180 nm, and appreciable 3PA at the telecommunications wavelength of 1300 nm.

Light Excitation

To take advantage of the singular properties of matter, as well as to characterize it, we need to interact with it. The role of optical spectroscopies is to enable us to demonstrate the existence of physical objects by observing their response to light excitation. The ability of spectroscopy to reveal the structure and properties of matter then relies on mathematical functions called optical (or dielectric) response functions. Technically, these are tensor Green’s functions, and not scalar functions. The complexity of this tensor formalism sometimes leads to confusion within some articles and books. Here, we do clarify this formalism by introducing the physical foundations of linear and non-linear spectroscopies as simple and rigorous as possible. We dwell on both the mathematical and experimental aspects, examining extinction, infrared, Raman and sum-frequency generation spectroscopies. In this review, we thus give a personal presentation with the aim of offering the reader a coherent vision of linear and non-linear optics, and to remove the ambiguities that we have encountered in reference books and articles.
