Optical biomarkers of serous and mucinous human ovarian tumor assessed with nonlinear optics microscopies.

<h4>Background</h4>Nonlinear optical (NLO) microscopy techniques have potential to improve the early detection of epithelial ovarian cancer. In this study we showed that multimodal NLO microscopies, including two-photon excitation fluorescence (TPEF), second-harmonic generation (SHG), th...
