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

Theoretical and experimental investigation of the depth limit of three-photon microscopy
Najva Akbari,Chris Xu +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided a theoretical prediction for the depth limit of 3PM and experimentally verified their results, and they showed that 3PM can penetrate beyond 10 effective attenuation lengths (EAL) with close to diffraction-limited spatial resolution in a tissue phantom.

Simultaneous multiplane imaging with reverberation multiphoton microscopy.
TL;DR: In this paper, a reverberation multiphoton microscopy (MPM) was proposed for 3D volumetric imaging at the same speed as 2D planar (single plane) imaging with minimal compromise in performance.
