Abstract
We report on a multimodal multiphoton microscopy (MPM) system with depth scanning. The multimodal capability is realized by an Er-doped femtosecond fiber laser with dual output wavelengths of 1580 nm and 790 nm that are responsible for three-photon and two-photon excitation, respectively. A shape-memory-alloy (SMA) actuated miniaturized objective enables the depth scanning capability. Image stacks combined with two-photon excitation fluorescence (TPEF), second harmonic generation (SHG), and third harmonic generation (THG) signals have been acquired from animal, fungus, and plant tissue samples with a maximum depth range over 200 µm.
