Abstract

Hyperspectral stimulated Raman scattering microscopy is deployed to measure single-membrane vibrational spectrum as a function of membrane potential. Using erythrocyte ghost as a model, quantitative correlation between transmembrane potential and Raman spectral profile was found. Specifically, the ratio between the area under Raman band at ∼2930 cm−1 and that at ∼2850 cm−1 increased by ∼2.6 times when the potential across the erythrocyte ghost membrane varied from +10 mV to −10 mV. Our results show the feasibility of employing stimulated Raman scattering microscopy to probe the membrane potential without labeling.
