Quantitative estimates of stimulation-induced perfusion response using two-photon fluorescence microscopy of cortical microvascular networks
Functional hyperemia, or the increase in focal perfusion elicited by neuronal activation, is one of the primary functions of the neurovascular unit and a hallmark of healthy brain functioning. While much is known about the hemodynamics on the millimeter to tenths of millimeter-scale accessible by MRI, there is a paucity of quantitative data on the micrometer-scale changes in perfusion in respon...
متن کاملTwo-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 کاملIn vivo imaging of cerebral energy metabolism with two-photon fluorescence lifetime microscopy of NADH
Minimally invasive, specific measurement of cellular energy metabolism is crucial for understanding cerebral pathophysiology. Here, we present high-resolution, in vivo observations of autofluorescence lifetime as a biomarker of cerebral energy metabolism in exposed rat cortices. We describe a customized two-photon imaging system with time correlated single photon counting detection and speciali...
متن کاملTwo-photon-like microscopy with orders-of-magnitude lower illumination intensity via two-step fluorescence
We describe two-step fluorescence microscopy, a new approach to non-linear imaging based on positive reversible photoswitchable fluorescent probes. The protein Padron approximates ideal two-step fluorescent behaviour: it equilibrates to an inactive state, converts to an active state under blue light, and blue light also excites this active state to fluoresce. Both activation and excitation are ...
