Abstract or Description:

Two-photon excitation microscopy is an alternative to confocal microscopy that provides advantages in three-dimensional and deep tissue imaging. This unit will describe the basic physical principles of two-photon excitation and discuss the advantages and limitations of its use in laser-scanning microscopy. The advantages of two-photon microscopy are reduced phototoxicity, increased imaging depth, and the ability to initiate localized photochemistry.
