Just Accepted “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication. They are posted online prior to technical editing, formatting for publication and author proofing. The American Chemical Society provides “Just Accepted” as a service to the research community to expedite the dissemination of scientific material as soon as possible after acceptance. “Just Accepted” manuscripts appear in full in PDF format accompanied by an HTML abstract. “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been fully peer reviewed, but should not be considered the official version of record. They are citable by the Digital Object Identifier (DOI®). “Just Accepted” is an optional service offered to authors. Therefore, the “Just Accepted” Web site may not include all articles that will be published in the journal. After a manuscript is technically edited and formatted, it will be removed from the “Just Accepted” Web site and published as an ASAP article.

Abstract

is hindered by the complexity of the staining process and photobleaching. As alternative to fluorescence microscopy, label-free chemical sensitivity and high spatial resolution are provided by Raman scattering microscopy 5 , interrogating the vibrational resonances of endogenous molecules. However, spontaneous Raman scattering provides only weak signals, mandating long integration times and/or high excitation powers, limiting the applicability of the technique to imaging biological specimens. Specifically it is not suitable for live cells with cellular compartments that can move on a sub-second scale. Although recent developments toward light-sheet Fouriertransform Raman imaging 6 have the potential to improve the acquisition speed, Raman microscopy is also affected by autofluorescence background, which limits its present applicability to volumetric imaging and makes it incompatible with fluorescent labelling. Higher signals can be achieved in coherent Raman scattering (CRS), a non-linear optical technique in which molecular vibrations are driven coherently by a light intensity modulation, typically achieved by the interference of two laser beams of different wavelengths. The signal enhancement in CRS originates from the coherent superposition of the Raman scattered fields, with a factor given by the number of vibrational modes in the focal volume, which can reach 1010 for pure materials such as lipids 7 . CRS can be measured as coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) 8 , or stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) 9 , both having their advantages and drawbacks 7,10–12 . CARS is generally easier to implement experimentally, since it occurs at a different wavelength compared to that of the exciting beams, thus the signal can be easily separated via an optical bandpass filter, and is blue shifted compared to the one-photon excited fluorescence background. On the other hand, it requires a more in depth data analysis, due to the contribution of vibrationally non-resonant backgrounds. Specifically, the CARS intensity can be described as IC ∝ |χ|2 = |χR +χNR |2 , where χR (χNR ) is the vibrationally resonant (non-resonant) component of the third-order susceptibility corresponding to the CARS process. χR has both real and imaginary parts, while χNR is due to an electronic contribution, and is real for materials without two-photon absorption, which is the case for water, proteins, DNA, and lipids, for excitation pulses with wavelengths in the biological window 7 , 700 - 1300 nm. Therefore, one can rewrite IC ∝ |χR |2 +2
