Time-resolved multifocal multiphoton microscopy

Abstract

Two photon microscopy is a powerful tool for cells or tissues imaging. However it presents the drawback of being a laser-scanning technique leading to long time acquisition for 3D images. To preserve biological samples from too long experiments and provide a more complete spectroscopic tool we developed a time-resolved multifocal multiphoton microscope. This setup allows us to speed up the acquisition and gives both intensity and lifetime images for all multifocal points.
