High-pulse-energy multiphoton imaging of neurons and oligodendrocytes in deep murine brain with a fiber laser

Abstract Here we demonstrate high-pulse-energy multiphoton microscopy (MPM) for intravital imaging of neurons and oligodendrocytes in the murine brain. Pulses with an order of magnitude higher energy (~ 10 nJ) were employed from a ytterbium doped fiber laser source at a 1-MHz repetition rate, as com...
