Ultraviolet photoacoustic microscopy with tissue clearing for high-contrast histological imaging

Ultraviolet photoacoustic microscopy (UV-PAM) has been investigated to provide label-free and registration-free volumetric histological images for whole organs, offering new insights into complex biological organs. However, because of the high UV absorption of lipids and pigments in tissue, UV-PAM s...
