摘要: A two-photon microscope is basically a scanning confocal that uses for excitation near-infrared light delivered in intense, femtosecond pulses. It allows imaging with the spatial resolution of conventional optical (<1 μm) but can perform such through several hundred micrometers brain tissue. In this article, physical principles are explained, and cortex living mouse neurons, glia, microvasculature described. Finally, advantages microscopy studying neuropathologies including tumors summarized.
