Abstract :
We have recently harnessed transient absorption for ultrahigh resolution photoacoustic microscopy, achieving nearly an order of magnitude improvement in axial resolution. We will discuss recent progress in system development and time resolved measurements for hemoglobin oxygen saturation.
