چکیده
We present a new optimization concept for 3D multiphoton fluorescence microscopy by finding the optimal excitation beam giving rise to the smallest possible light-emitting volume or the highest possible signal to noise ratio (SNR).

In vivo 3D measurement of moxifloxacin and gatifloxacin distributions in the mouse cornea using multiphoton microscopy
Moxifloxacin and gatifloxacin are fourth-generation fluoroquinolone antibiotics used in the clinic to prevent or treat ocular infections. Their pharmacokinetics in the cornea is usually measured from extracted ocular fluids or tissues, and in vivo direct measurement is difficult. In this study multiphoton microscopy (MPM), which is a 3D optical microscopic technique based on multiphoton fluores...

متن کاملReal Time 3D fluorescence microscopy based on multifocal multiphoton excitation
Multiphoton excitation microscopy is becoming increasingly important as it offers several advantages over confocal laser (single photon excitation) scanning microscopy (CLSM) such as use of lesser damaging NIR wavelengths, reduced scattering, deeper imaging, no need for pinhole, higher light collection efficiency and excitation of UV dyes at NIR wavelengths; in addition, excitation and photoble...
متن کاملIn Vivo 3d Quantification of Melanin in Human Skin Based on Multiphoton Microscopy and Image Processing
Multiphoton microscopy is a recent non-invasive skin imaging technique that allows the human skin three-dimensional structure to be characterized in vivo with sub-μm resolution. This technique, in combination with specific 3D image processing tools, allows an automatic segmentation of the different skin layers and an extraction of several quantitative parameters characterizing skin in terms of ...
