Three-dimensional molecular imaging of living organisms and cells plays a significant role in modern biology. Yet, current volumetric imaging modalities are largely fluorescence-based and thus lack chemical content information. Mid-infrared photothermal microscopy as a chemical imaging technology provides infrared spectroscopic information at submicrometer spatial resolution. Here, by harnessing thermosensitive fluorescent dyes to sense the mid-infrared photothermal effect, we demonstrate 3D fluorescence-detected mid-infrared photothermal Fourier light field (FMIP-FLF) microscopy at the speed of 8 volumes per second and submicron spatial resolution. Protein contents in bacteria and lipid droplets in living pancreatic cancer cells are visualized. Altered lipid metabolism in drug-resistant pancreatic cancer cells is observed with the FMIP-FLF microscope.
