TLDR
Non-invasive, high-resolution, in vivo imaging of subcortical structures (the external capsule and hippocampus) within an intact mouse brain is demonstrated using three-photon fluorescence microscopy at the new spectral window of 1700 nm.Abstract:
Two-photon fluorescence microscopy (2PM)1 enables scientists in various fields including neuroscience2,3, embryology4, and oncology5 to visualize in vivo and ex vivo tissue morphology and physiology at a cellular level deep within scattering tissue. However, tissue scattering limits the maximum imaging depth of 2PM within the mouse brain to the cortical layer, and imaging subcortical structures currently requires the removal of overlying brain tissue3 or the insertion of optical probes6,7. Here we demonstrate non-invasive, high resolution, in vivo imaging of subcortical structures within an intact mouse brain using three-photon fluorescence microscopy (3PM) at a spectral excitation window of 1,700 nm. Vascular structures as well as red fluorescent protein (RFP)-labeled neurons within the mouse hippocampus are imaged. The combination of the long excitation wavelength and the higher order nonlinear excitation overcomes the limitations of 2PM, enabling biological investigations to take place at greater depth within tissue.read more

Simulation design of wide-field temporal-focusing multiphoton excitation with a tunable excitation wavelength
TL;DR: In this article, the optical parameters of temporal-focusing multiphoton excitation microscopy (TFMPEM) were systematically examined to have good excitation performance, and a grating with a groove density of 830 lines/mm enabled the TFMPEM system to achieve a wavelength range of 700-1000nm by adjusting the incident angle of the ultrafast laser on the grating; a diffraction efficiency of 81'±'3% was obtained at this wavelength range.

Estimation of temperature rise at the focus of objective lens at the 1700 nm window
TL;DR: This work presents theoretical estimation of temperature rise at the focus of objective lens at the 1700nm window, purely due to water absorption, and shows that under realistic experimental conditions, temperature rise due toWater absorption is still below 1K and may not cause tissue damage during imaging.

Deep-brain three-photon microscopy excited at 1600 nm with silicone oil immersion.
TL;DR: Together with the nonhygroscopic physical property, silicone oil is promising for long-span three-photon brain imaging excited at the 1700-nm window and is proposed as a potential alternative to D2 O for deep-brain imaging.

Two-Photon Laser Scanning Fluorescence Microscopy
TL;DR: The fluorescence emission increased quadratically with the excitation intensity so that fluorescence and photo-bleaching were confined to the vicinity of the focal plane as expected for cooperative two-photon excitation.
