Using a supercontinuum light as the Stokes light source for coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) spectroscopic imaging, we are able to observe a wide spectral range of OH stretching vibration bands. In this study, wevisualized water molecules inside cells. This research focused on studying vacuole-like structures formed inside cells under hypo-osmotic stress.
