  • Abstract
    A spectroscopy and imaging system using a ring cavity terahertz (THz) wave parametric oscillator was developed. We demonstrate the differentiation of tissue types in a watery microtomed biological section using differences of water concentration. The contrast of differentiation for watery tissues was improved over that of the dried tissue.
