Signal epidetection in third-harmonic generation microscopy of turbid media.
Third-harmonic generation (THG) imaging of thick samples or large organisms requires TH light to be epicollected through the focusing objective. In this study we first estimate the amount of backward-to-forward TH radiation created by an isolated object as a function of size and spatial frequencies in the object. Theory and model experiments indicate that no significant signal can be epidetecte...
متن کاملImaging Caenorhabditis elegans embryogenesis by third-harmonic generation microscopy.
In this study, third-harmonic generation (THG) imaging measurements were performed to characterize different developmental stages of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) embryos. Femtosecond laser pulses (1028 nm) were utilized for excitation. THG image contrast modality proved as a powerful diagnostic tool, providing valuable information and offering new insights into the complex d...
متن کاملThird-harmonic generation microscopy with Bessel beams: a numerical study.
We study theoretically and numerically third-harmonic generation (THG) from model geometries (interfaces, slabs, periodic media) illuminated by Bessel beams produced by focusing an annular intensity profile. Bessel beams exhibit a phase and intensity distribution near focus different from Gaussian beams, resulting in distinct THG phase matching properties and coherent scattering directions. Exc...
متن کاملIntravital third harmonic generation microscopy of collective melanoma cell invasion
Cancer cell invasion is an adaptive process based on cell-intrinsic properties to migrate individually or collectively, and their adaptation to encountered tissue structure acting as barrier or providing guidance. Whereas molecular and physical mechanisms of cancer invasion are well-studied in 3D in vitro models, their topographic relevance, classification and validation toward interstitial tis...
متن کاملThird harmonic generation microscopy of a mouse retina
PURPOSE To demonstrate lipid-specific imaging of the retina through the use of third harmonic generation (THG), a multiphoton microscopic technique in which tissue contrast is generated from optical inhomogeneities. METHODS A custom fiber laser and multiphoton microscope was constructed and optimized for simultaneous two-photon autofluorescence (TPAF) and THG retinal imaging. Imaging was perf...
