    Abstract: A short-wave infrared photothermal (SWIP) microscopy system and method for vibrational imaging of a sample generates shortwave infrared excitation light probe light. The excitation light and the probe light are combined to generate a combined beam, which is focused to generate a focused combined beam, which is directed onto the sample to obtain a SWIP signal generated by absorption-induced thermo-optic selective heating of the sample. The SWIP signal is collected through an aperture in a condenser and detected.
