Abstract
Label-free confocal photothermal (CPT) microscopy was utilized for the first time to investigate malignancy in mouse skin cells. A laser diode (LD) with 405nm or 488nm was used as a pump and 638nm LD as a probe for the CPT microscope. The Grey Level Cooccurrence Matrix (GLCM) for texture analysis was applied to the CPT images. Nine parameters of GLCM were calculated for the intracellular super-resolved CPT images, and the parameters Entropy and Prominence were found to be most suited among the nine parameters to discriminate between healthy cells and MM cells in case pump wavelength of 488nm is used.
