Innovation Japan 2016 (JST University Exhibition Zone)

The explanation of the device, its operation methods, and features will be provided in a video.
1. Technical Overview
This technology allows for the three-dimensional imaging of the localization distribution of small molecular compounds that change their properties when labeled with fluorescent dyes, by identifying molecular structures through induced Raman scattering under a microscope. Unlike Raman microscopes that are commercially available elsewhere, this technology detects high-intensity induced Raman scattering light, which is advantageous for depth-direction tomography. To enable users who are not specialists in coherent Raman microscopy to operate it, the light source has been integrated, and it has been commercialized as an all-in-one measurement device.
2. Highlights of the Exhibition
The procedures for measuring samples such as inhalation anesthetic molecules, steroid molecules, amino acids and amino acid derivatives, and vitamins using this device will be introduced with explanations in video format. The panel will explain a successful case where the cornea of a mouse eye was immersed in a taurine solution, which is also included in eye drops, and the concentration distribution within the cornea was detected.
3. Expected Applications
- Non-destructive measurement of drug penetration into the skin and other tissues
- Measurement of the distribution of drug molecules within cells
- Tracking changes in molecular composition due to metabolism and other factors
