The processed Raman images of dMet and background signals in wild type Drosophila larval fat body
Description
The processed Raman images of deuterated methionine (dMet) and background signals in wild type Drosophila larval fat body. XXX_Met.jpg is dMet image, and XXX_XPM.jpg is background image. XXX_Met.jpg was genarated from 1.tif and 2.tif which was subtracted 0.tif and 3.tif background signals. XXX_XPM.jpg was generated from 0.tif and 3.tif background signals.

(Abstract) Introduction: Visualizing small individual biomolecules at subcellular resolution in live cells and tissues can provide valuable insights into metabolic activity in heterogeneous cells, but is challenging. Methods: Here, we used stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy to image deuterated methionine (d-Met) incorporated into Drosophila tissues in vivo. Results: Our results demonstrate that SRS can detect a range of previously uncharacterized cell-to-cell differences in d-Met distribution within a tissue at the subcellular level. Discussion: These results demonstrate the potential of SRS microscopy for metabolic imaging of less abundant but important amino acids such as methionine in tissue.
