Abstract
Systems and methods for producing an ultrafast functional photoacoustic microscopy system are disclosed herein. Such systems are configured to enable the imaging of microvasculature and functional dynamics of tissue samples with a broad field of view and high spatial resolution. According to several disclosed embodiments, a combination of a Raman path and a polygon scanner in water immersion and air immersion environments enables rapid imaging of target materials.
