Hyperspectral surface plasmon resonance microscopy (HSPRM) is an advanced analytical technique for spectral imaging and chemical and biological sensing, which enables high-resolution visualization and precise quantification of chemical and biological analytes.

A study published in Nature Communications describes a flexible HSPRM system that operates by using a hyperspectral microscope to analyze the selected area of SPR image produced by a prism-based spectral SPR sensor.

The HSPRM system is developed by a research team of the State Key Laboratory of Transducer Technology at the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).

The HSPRM system enables monochromatic and polychromatic SPR imaging and single-pixel spectral SPR sensing, as well as two-dimensional quantification of thin films with the measured resonance-wavelength images. It can measure SPR radiance spectra instead of conventional intensity spectra to improve the figure of merit (FOM) of single-pixel spectral SPR sensors and can also quantify two-dimensional profiles of thickness and refractive index for thin films by using the measured resonance-wavelength images.

Pixel-by-pixel calibration of the incident beam collimation deviation was performed to remove pixel-to-pixel differences in SPR sensitivity.

The HSPRM system has a wide spectral range from 400 nm to 1000 nm, an optional field of view from 0.884 mm2 to 0.003 mm2 and a high lateral resolution of 1.2um.

Several typical applications of the HSPRM system are shown in this study, including quantification of single-layer graphene thickness distribution, in situ detection of inhomogeneous protein adsorption, and label-free single cell analysis.

The system, marking an innovative breakthrough in SPR sensor technology, is expected to greatly expand the SPR imaging applications.

Three-quarters of people over 10 own a mobile phone: UN
Geneva (AFP) Nov 30, 2022
Nearly three quarters of people over the age of 10 now own a mobile phone, potentially opening the way to broader internet use, the United Nations said Wednesday. The UN's International Telecommunication Union has provided its first estimate of regional and global ownership, revealing that 73 percent of the world's population over 10 years of age owned a cellphone in 2022. "Mobile phones are the most common gateway to internet use, with the percentage of ownership serving as an indicator of inte ... read more
