Three-Photon Microscopy Comes of Age
How does three-photon microscopy stack up against two-photon microscopy?
The use of high-energy, low-repetition rate excitation for deep imaging remained unexploited until 2013 when it was realized that three-photon microscopy (3PM) leverages short, energetic pulses to a larger extent than two-photon microscopy (2PM). Since then, 3PM gained popularity as a tool able to extend the capabilities of 2PM by imaging deeper layers in the brain and other tissues such as tumors and bone.
