Claim 0:
1. A sensing system for imaging a sample, comprising:
exactly one laser source configured to generate:
an excitation beam configured to generate signals in the sample at an excitation location, and
wherein the exactly one laser source is also configured to generate an interrogation beam incident on the sample at the excitation location, a portion of the interrogation beam returning from the sample that is indicative of the generated signals, wherein the excitation beam or the interrogation beam are focused below a surface of the sample;
a detector configured to detect the returning portion of the interrogation beam; and
a processor configured to calculate an image of the sample based on the detected returning portion of the interrogation beam from below the surface of the sample.
