AbstractWe explore the physical characteristics of young stellar clusters in the Antennae by combining recent ground- and space-based mid-infrared observations with a newly developed set of diagnostic diagrams. Spitzer data give an overview of the star-forming regions extending over hundreds of parsecs, showing a dominant diffuse ISM component with a density of 102 cm−3 plus a small fraction of very compact material (106 cm−3). With its higher spatial resolution VISIR gives a close-up view of the latter component. Its emission line ratios suggest that these regions are fundamentally different from local star-forming regions. Instead of having small isolated UCHII regions, as in local star-forming regions, the average density of the medium of the whole region falls in the (ultra)compact regime, exceeding 104 cm−3 over tens of parsecs.

Mid-infrared (IR) spectroscopic imaging using inherent vibrational contrast has been broadly used as a powerful analytical tool for sample identification and characterization. However, the low spatial resolution and large water absorption associated with the long IR wavelengths hinder its applications to study subcellular features in living systems. Recently developed mid-infrared photothermal (MIP) microscopy overcomes these limitations by probing the IR absorption–induced photothermal effect using a visible light. MIP microscopy yields submicrometer spatial resolution with high spectral fidelity and reduced water background. In this review, we categorize different photothermal contrast mechanisms and discuss instrumentations for scanning and widefield MIP microscope configurations. We highlight a broad range of applications from life science to materials. We further provide future perspective and potential venues in MIP microscopy field.
