Abstract
We report the application of fifth-harmonic and five-photon excitation fluorescence multiphoton microscopy. This novel, to our knowledge, label-free imaging modality has been characterized with spectral and power dependence measurements. The advantages of fifth-harmonic and five-photon excitation fluorescence imaging are higher resolution and use of longer wavelength excitation sources, which may allow deeper penetration depth while still exciting near-UV to blue fluorophores. This imaging modality may find interesting applications in biological research, materials characterization, geologic studies, and semiconductor manufacturing.
期刊介绍:
The Optical Society (OSA) publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed articles in its portfolio of journals, which serve the full breadth of the optics and photonics community.
Optics Letters offers rapid dissemination of new results in all areas of optics with short, original, peer-reviewed communications. Optics Letters covers the latest research in optical science, including optical measurements, optical components and devices, atmospheric optics, biomedical optics, Fourier optics, integrated optics, optical processing, optoelectronics, lasers, nonlinear optics, optical storage and holography, optical coherence, polarization, quantum electronics, ultrafast optical phenomena, photonic crystals, and fiber optics. Criteria used in determining acceptability of contributions include newsworthiness to a substantial part of the optics community and the effect of rapid publication on the research of others. This journal, published twice each month, is where readers look for the latest discoveries in optics.
