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

Deep Tissue Wavefront Estimation for Sensorless Aberration Correction
TL;DR: In this article, a wavefront estimation method based on a ray tracing algorithm was proposed to overcome the multiple light scattering in biological tissues limits the measurement depth for traditional wavefront sensor, which can provide not only the information of spherical aberration from the refractive index mismatch between the medium and biological sample but also other aberrations caused by the irregular interface between them.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate SRS spectro-microscopy driven by a multiple-plate continuum (MPC), whose octave-spanning bandwidth (600-1300 nm) and high spectral energy density (∼1 nJ/cm-1) enable spectroscopic interrogation across the entire Raman active region.

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.
