Thermal sensing with fine spatial resolution is important to the study of many scientific areas. While modern microscopy systems allow optical detection at high spatial resolution, their intrinsic functions are mainly focused on imaging but limited in detecting other physical parameters, for example, mapping thermal variations. Here, with a coating of an optical exceptional point structure, we demonstrate a low-cost but efficient multifunctional microscope slide, supporting real-time monitoring and mapping of temperature distribution and heat transport in addition to conventional microscopic imaging. The square-root dependency associated with an exceptional point leads to enhanced thermal sensitivity for precise temperature measurement. With a microscale resolution, real-time thermal mapping is conducted, showing dynamic temperature variation in a spatially defined area. Our strategy of integrating low-cost and efficient optical sensing technologies on a conventional glass slide enables simultaneous detection of multiple environmental parameters, producing improved experimental control at the microscale in various scientific disciplines.
