Two-photon Fluorescence Light Microscopy
The invention of two-photon fluorescence light microscopy by Denk, Webb and co-workers (Denk et al., 1990) revolutionized three-dimensional (3D) in vivo imaging of cells and tissues. In 1931, the theoretical basis of twophoton excitation was established by Maria GöppertMayer, and this photophysical effect was verified experimentally by Kaiser and Garret in 1963. Two-photon excitation is a fluor...
متن کاملTwo-photon excitation fluorescence microscopy.
Two-photon fluorescence microscopy is one of the most important recent inventions in biological imaging. This technology enables noninvasive study of biological specimens in three dimensions with submicrometer resolution. Two-photon excitation of fluorophores results from the simultaneous absorption of two photons. This excitation process has a number of unique advantages, such as reduced speci...
متن کاملAdaptive optics two-photon fluorescence microscopy
Non-linear imaging is widely used in biological imaging, primarily because of its ability to image through tissue to depth of a few hundred micrometers. Because two photons need to be absorbed to excite a fluorophore in this instrument, the probability of fluorescence emission of a detectable photon scales with the intensity squared of the beam. As a result, aberrations in the beam path that re...
متن کاملTwo-photon laser scanning fluorescence microscopy.
Molecular excitation by the simultaneous absorption of two photons provides intrinsic three-dimensional resolution in laser scanning fluorescence microscopy. The excitation of fluorophores having single-photon absorption in the ultraviolet with a stream of strongly focused subpicosecond pulses of red laser light has made possible fluorescence images of living cells and other microscopic objects...
متن کاملTwo-photon fluorescence isotropic-single-objective microscopy.
Two-photon excitation provides efficient optical sectioning in three-dimensional fluorescence microscopy, independently of a confocal detection. In two-photon laser-scanning microscopy, the image resolution is governed by the volume of the excitation light spot, which is obtained by focusing the incident laser beam through the objective lens of the microscope. The light spot being strongly elon...
