A multiphoton microscopy based on coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering is accomplished with near-infrared ultrashort laser pulses. We demonstrate vibrational imaging of chemical and biological samples with high sensitivity, high spatial resolution, noninvasiveness, and three-dimensional sectioning capability.
