The acquired shadowgraph data are in agreement with previous visualization studies but differ from the PLIF results, yielding new insights into the fragmentation process. In particular, the PLIF data reveal changes in droplet topology during fragmentation that result from the entrapment or formation of gas cavities inside the liquid phase. In some instances, topological modification can be observed to arise from the presence of these cavities. In addition, the cavities may act as weak spots, facilitating droplet split-off.Wide-field coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy offers an attractive means for the rapid and simultaneous acquisition of vibrationally resolved images across a large field of view. A major challenge in the implementation lies in how to achieve sufficiently strong excitation fields necessary to drive the third-order optical responses over the large focal region. Here, we report a new wide-field CARS microscope enabled by a total internal reflection excitation scheme using a femtosecond TiSapphire oscillator to generate pump and broadband near-infrared Stokes pulses. The spectrally broad Stokes pulse, in combination with its inherent chirp, offers not only access to a wide range of Raman modes spanning ∼1000 to ∼3500cm-1 but also a straightforward means to select vibrational transitions within this range by simply varying the time delay between the pulses. The unique capabilities of this wide-field CARS microscope were validated by acquiring high-quality CARS images from the model and complex biological samples on conventional microscope coverslips.An ultrafast laser deliver
