Description
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, the authors used stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy to image deuterated methionine (d-Met) incorporated into Drosophila tissues in vivo. Results: Their 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.
