Methods The paper puts emphasis on introducing and demonstrating Raman imaging techniques for practical uses in food analysis. Results & Conclusions: The main topics include Raman scattering principles, Raman spectroscopy measurement techniques (e.g., backscattering Raman spectroscopy, transmission Raman spectroscopy, and spatially offset Raman spectroscopy), Raman image acquisition methods (i.e., point-scan, line-scan, and area-scan methods), Raman imaging instruments (e.g., excitation sources, wavelength separation devices, detectors, imaging systems, and calibration methods), and Raman image processing and analysis techniques (e.g., fluorescence correction, mixture analysis, target identification, spatial mapping, and quantitative analysis).

Remote fourier transform infrared(FTIR) chemical imaging detection system allows detection and identification of gases in the atmosphere from long distances. In this paper, the appropriate field of view(FOV) of the FTIR imaging system was examined and the main performance of the system for the interferometer was described. For the determination of the FOV, simulations of gas dispersion range were performed with the NBC reporting and modeling software(NBC-RAMS) developed by ADD. As a result, minimum 192 mrad of FOV was required for the remote FTIR imaging system to visualize chemical warfare agents dispersed in several hundred meters. At the same time, 0.75 mrad of instantaneous field of view(IFOV) for a linear interferometer proper to take a FOV for the chemical agent imaging.

There are several methods to achieve selective NMR image of differing chemical species with the three most popular methods of Dixon's, CHESS, and SECSI. A major problem common to all chemical shift imaging methods is the uniformity of the static magnetic field and distortions introduced when RF coils are loaded with a conducting specimen. Without magnetic field shimming, these methods cannot be used to acquire selectively image protons in fat and water which are separated by approximately 3.0ppm. Experiments with a phantom, with linewidths of 2.5 to 3.5ppm, were quantitatively evaluated for the three methods and a new chemical shift imaging method. In this study the new chemical shift imaging method (modified CHESS+SECSI technique) which included a selective saturation and refocusing pulse, was developed to determine the ratios of water and fat in different samples.

Red fluorescent organic nanopaticles (FONs) based on a diarylacrylonitrile derivative conjugated molecule were facilely prepared by surfactant modification. Such red FONs showed excellent water solubility and biocompatibility, making them promising for cell imaging applications.

화학적 이동성을 이용하여, 생체의 경우 지방질의 영상 혹은 물성분의 영상을 얻을 수 있다. 여러 가지 기술을 사용하여 분리된 성분의 자기공명 영상을 얻었다. Dixon의 방법은 두 번의 영상실험을 하여 지방질 영상과 물성분 영상을 구분할 수 있으며, 부분적 자기장의 불균질성에 영향을 적게 받고 다층 영상법에 용이하게 적용할 수 있다. CHESS와 SECSI 방법은 한번의 영상실험으로 물 또는 지방질 영상을 획득할 수 있다. 그러나 부분적 자기장의 불균질성에 영향을 많이 받으며, 다층영상법에 적용하기에는 어려운 점이 있다. 화학 성분의, 즉 지방질과 물성분의 분리의 척도가 되는 지방질 신호대 물성분신호 비에 있어 SECSI 방법이 가장 우수함을 보였다.

In recent years, many researchers have attempted to make use of 2D nanoparticles as molecular imaging probes since extensive investigations proved that 2D nanoparticles in the body tends to accumulate certain lesions by enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. For example, graphene and carbon nitride which have high surface area and modifiable properties showed good biocompatibility and targetability when it used as imaging probes. However, poor dispersibility in physiological mediums and its uncontrolled size limited its usage in bio-application. Therefore, oxidation process and mechanical exfoliation have been developed for overcoming these problems. In this paper, we highlight the several major methods to synthesize biocompatible 2D nanomaterials like graphene and carbon nitride especially for molecular imaging study including positron emission tomography (PET).

Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) imaging is a powerful technique for producing chemical images of small biomolecules (ex. metabolites, lipids, peptides) "as received" because of its high molecular specificity, high surface sensitivity, and submicron spatial resolution. In addition, matrix-assisted laser desorption and ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) imaging is an essential technique for producing chemical images of large biomolecules (ex. genes and proteins). For this talk, we will show that label-free mass imaging technique can be a platform technology for biomedical studies such as early detection/diagnostics, accurate histologic diagnosis, prediction of clinical outcome, stem cell therapy, biosensors, nanomedicine and drug screening [1-7].

Chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence imaging was used to investigate the effectiveness of in vivo incorporation methods for two chemicals, 3-(3',4'-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (DCMU) and methyl viologen (MV) in rice, a monocot, and cucumber, a dicot, leaves. four different methods (vacuum infiltration, floating, transpiration-aided incorporation through petiole and spraying) were compared, and $F_i$ and $F_v$/$F_m$ were chosen for the imaging of the DCMU- and MV-treated leaves, respectively. The effects of the chemicals in plants were generally heterogeneous over the whole leaf area. Moreover, the effectiveness of the treatment of a chemical in plant leaves was dependent on chemical species, plant species, concentration of the chemical, the treatment method, the duration of the treatment, the existence of light and detergent, etc. In conclusion, we suggest that to achieve the proposed effects of chemicals in plants for an actual experiment, these factors must be considered before the chemical treatment, and the best method for the treatment of the chemicals tested was floating and vacuum infiltration in the dicot and the monocot leaves, respectively, as drawn from Chl fluorescence imaging analysis.

Resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization with time-of-flight product imaging of the $N(^2D)$ atoms has been used to study the $N_2O$ photodissociation at 118.2 nm and the two-photon dissociation at 268.9 nm. These imaging experiments allowed the determination of the total kinetic energy distribution of the $NO(X^2{\prod})$ and $N(^2D_{5/2})$ products. The $NO(X^2{\prod})$ fragments resulting from the photodissociation processes are produced in highly vibrationally excited states. The two-photon photodissociation process yields a broad $NO(X^2{\prod})$ vibrational energy distribution, while the 118.2 nm dissociation appears to produce a vibrational distribution sharply peaked at $NO(X^2{\prod},\;{\nu}=14)$.
