Hyperspectral Imaging of Lipids using Near-infrared Super Continuum Light

Lipids can be detected by infrared (IR) spectroscopy because lipids have significant absorption peaks derived from C-H or C=O vibration mode. Near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy can also give the information of absorptions. The significant absorption peaks are often observed by overtone of molecular vibration of mid-infrared (MIR) region. Hyperspectral imaging technology realizes to show us the spatial and chemical information. NIR hyperspectral imaging can show the distribution of chemical compounds by vibrational information.
