Two-photon excited hemoglobin fluorescence
We discovered that hemoglobin emits high energy Soret fluorescence when two-photon excited by the visible femtosecond light sources. The unique spectral and temporal characteristics of hemoglobin fluorescence were measured by using a time-resolved spectroscopic detection system. The high energy Soret fluorescence of hemoglobin shows the spectral peak at 438 nm with extremely short lifetime. Thi...
متن کاملMechanism of two-photon excited hemoglobin fluorescence emission.
Hemoglobin, one of the most important proteins in the human body, is composed of “heme” groups (iron-containing rings) and “globins” (proteins). We investigate the two-photon excited fluorescence of hemoglobin and its subunit components (heme and globin). We measure the hemoglobin fluorescence lifetime by using a streak camera of ps resolution and confirm that its lifetime is in femtosecond sca...
متن کاملMembrane potential detection with second-harmonic generation and two-photon excited fluorescence: A theoretical comparison
We theoretically compare the performance of TPEF and SHG microscopy for membrane potential imaging. We argue that electrochromic TPEF and SHG membrane potential responses are reflections of the same phenomenon, and can be described in a unified manner as resulting from the linear Stark effect. We also show that TPEF and SHG exhibit similar sensitivities in the case of both electrochromic and or...
متن کاملNitrogen Atom Detection in Low-Pressure Flames by Two-Photon Laser-Excited Fluorescence
Nitrogen atoms have been detected in stoichiometric flat premixed H2/O2/N2 flames at 33 and 96 mbar doped with small amounts of NH3, HCN, and (CN)2 using two-photon laser excitation at 211 nm and fluorescence detection around 870nm. The shape of the fluorescence intensity profiles versus height above the burner surface is markedly different for the different additives. Using measured quenching ...
متن کاملTwo-photon laser scanning fluorescence microscopy using photonic crystal fiber.
We report the application of a simple yet powerful modular pulse compression system based on photonic crystal fibers that improves on incumbent two-photon laser scanning fluorescence microscopy techniques. This system provides more than a sevenfold increase in fluorescence yield when compared with a commercial two-photon microscopy system. From this, we infer pulses of IR radiation of less than...
