Optical recording of action potentials with second-harmonic generation microscopy.
Nonlinear microscopy has proven to be essential for neuroscience investigations of thick tissue preparations. However, the optical recording of fast (approximately 1 msec) cellular electrical activity has never until now been successfully combined with this imaging modality. Through the use of second-harmonic generation microscopy of primary Aplysia neurons in culture labeled with 4-[4-(dihexyl...
متن کاملInterferometric second harmonic generation microscopy.
We describe a novel second harmonic generation (SHG) microscope that employs heterodyne detection by interfering the epi directed SHG from a sample with SHG from a reference crystal. In addition, the microscope provides complementary reflectance information based on optical coherence microscopy (OCM). The instrument features dual balanced detection to minimize the effect of source fluctuations,...
متن کاملTime-resolved second harmonic generation near-field scanning optical microscopy.
Novel scanning probe microscopy (SPM) spectroscopic techniques are currently receiving much attention. The increasing number of spectroscopic techniques, when combined with the high spatial resolution that is attainable with SPM, makes it possible to probe a large range of material characteristics on the nanoscopic scale. The ability to probe samples on the nanoscale with femtosecond time resol...
متن کاملOptical Second Harmonic Generation as a Probe of Surface Chemistry
Optical second harmonic generation (SHG) is the nonlinear conversion of two photons of frequency w to a single photon of frequency 2w which, in the electric dipole approximation, requires a noncentrosymmetric medium. The ability of noncentrosymmetric crystals to produce SHG has led to their implementation as frequency doublers in a wide variety of laser systems. SHG can also be obtained from th...
متن کاملTwo Photon Microscopy and Second Harmonic Generation
Nonlinear microscopy has become an important tool for imaging biological samples such as neurons. In two photon fluorescence, a fluorophore absorbs two photons at a low energy state, one of its electrons briefly converts to a higher energy state, and it emits a single excited photon at an energy level higher than that of the absorbed photons. In second harmonic generation (SHG), laser light is ...
