Integrated photoacoustic, confocal, and two-photon microscope.
The invention of green fluorescent protein and other molecular fluorescent probes has promoted applications of confocal and two-photon fluorescence microscopy in biology and medicine. However, exogenous fluorescence contrast agents may affect cellular structure and function, and fluorescence microscopy cannot image nonfluorescent chromophores. We overcome this limitation by integrating optical-...
متن کاملA custom confocal and two-photon digital laser scanning microscope.
We describe a custom one-photon (confocal) and two-photon all-digital (photon counting) laser scanning microscope. The confocal component uses two avalanche photodiodes (APDs) as the fluorescence detector to achieve high sensitivity and to overcome the limited photon counting rate of a single APD ( approximately 5 MHz). The confocal component is approximately nine times more efficient than our ...
متن کاملLocal-threshold 2D-tophat Cell Segmentation for the Two-photon Confocal Microscope Image
The Two-photon Confocal Microscopy (TCM) is a new technology which is useful in nondestructive analysis of tissue. However its cell experiment images are excessive and difficult for machine processing since the low resolution and lots of noise. Thus nowadays such a work is mainly done manually and costs a lot of time and effort. This paper proposes a cell segmentation algorithm for this situati...
متن کاملFundamental improvement of resolution with a 4Pi-confocal fluorescence microscope using two-photon excitation
A new type of confocal fluorescence microscope with an unprecedented resolution is proposed. Calculations demonstrate that an axial resolution on the order of 100 nm can be achieved in a confocal microscope with enlarged aperture when two-photon excitation is applied. This axial resolution is up to four times higher than that ofa confocal fluorescence microscope. The proposed microscope yields ...
متن کاملAdapting a compact confocal microscope system to a two-photon excitation fluorescence imaging architecture.
Within the framework of a national National Institute of Physics of Matter (INFM) project, we have realised a two-photon excitation (TPE) fluorescence microscope based on a new generation commercial confocal scanning head. The core of the architecture is a mode-locked Ti:Sapphire laser (Tsunami 3960, Spectra Physics Inc., Mountain View, CA) pumped by a high-power (5 W, 532 nm) laser (Millennia ...
