Non
linear optical microscopy, based on femtosecond laser spectral reshaping, characterized and imaged graphene samples made from different methods, both on s
lides and in a biological environment. This technique clearly discriminates between graphene flakes with different numbers of layers and reveals the distinct non
linear optical properties of reduced graphene oxide as compared to mechanically exfo
liated or chemical vapor deposition grown graphene. The non
linearity makes it app
licable to scattering samples (such as tissue) as opposed to previous methods, such as transmission. This was demonstrated by high-resolution imaging of breast cancer cells incubated with graphene flakes.
