The use of photothermal microscopy to obtain superficial and in-depth images, by means of the interaction of a thermal wave with the analyzed material, has reached great interest due to its numerous applications. The application of the photopyroelectric microscopy technique to obtain images of plant leaves is presented in this article. In the experimental setup, a pyroelectric sensor and linear micro-positioners were used to obtain the photothermal signal at each point of the sample. Then it is possible to obtain images of plant leaves through their differences in local thermal properties and thickness.

Photopyroelectric spectroscopy and calorimetryIn this Tutorial, we present an overview of the development of the photopyroelectric (PPE) technique from its beginning in 1984 to the present day. The Tutorial is organized into five sections, which explore both theoretical and experimental aspects of PPE detection as well as some important spectroscopic and calorimetric applications. In the “Introduction” section, we present the fundamental basics of photothermal phenomena and the state-of-the-art of photopyroelectric technique. In the “Theoretical aspects” section, we describe some specific cases of experimental interest, with examples in both back and front detection configurations. Several mathematical expressions for the PPE signal in specific detection modes (combined back–front configurations and PPE–thermography methods) are also deduced. The “Instrumentation and experiment” section contains two subsections. The first describes several examples of setups used for both room temperature and temperature-controlled experiments....

Thermal and elastic characterizations by photothermal microscopy (invited2003 •
A photothermal microscope based on photoreflectance and interferometric techniques is used to measure, on the same field, the thermal properties and the thermoelastic response of samples heated by a focused intensity modulated laser beam. In imaging mode, this instrument provides two-dimensional thermal or mechanical qualitative maps. In characterization configuration thermal and thermoelastic properties, with resolutions of a few micrometers, can be quantitatively measured if careful analysis of the signals is made.

This chapter outlines the potential of thermal sensing as a tool for plant ecophysiological studies and provides a summary of the key biophysical equations involved in the use of thermal sensing for the study of plant water relations. Particular emphasis is placed on the precautions that need to be adopted for high precision applications. The use of reference ‘mimic’ surfaces for improved estimation of stomatal conductance and evapotranspiration is outlined, and some of the precautions necessary for accurate work are described. Not only are recent applications reviewed, but some additional opportunities for use of the technique are described.
