Abstract |
|
|
|
The major thrust of modern day fluorescence laser-scanning microscopy has been towards achieving still better depth resolution embodied by the invention and subsequent development of one-photon confocal and multiphoton fluorescence microscopic techniques. However, each method bears its own limitations in having sufficient background fluorescence resulting from out-of-focus illumination for the former while low multiphoton absorption cross-sections of common fluorophores for the latter. Based on our recent communication published elsewhere [De, A. K. and Goswami, D., “Three-dimensional image formation under one-photon ultra-short pulsed illumination”, Proc. SPIE, 7378 (2009), 737827 (1-4)], here we describe in detail how one-photon ultrafast pulsed excitation leads to a consortium between confocal and multiphoton fluorescence microscopy.
