Advantages

Our facility combines three multiphoton contrast mechanisms in a single microscope, offering unrivalled flexibility allowing stain-free imaging of multiple species within a sample. As well as providing non-invasive image contrast, Multiphoton interactions also contain spectroscopic information which can provide novel mechanisms for detection and characterisation of biomolecules in-vivo.

Multiphoton Excitation (MPE)

• Increased depth penetration
• Reduced photobleaching
• Reduced sample damage

Second Harmonic Generation (SHG)

• High depth penetration
• No photobleaching
• Low sample damage
• Label free imaging

Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CARS)

• High depth penetration
• No photobleaching
• Low sample damage
• Label free imaging
