Color and multicontrast multiphoton imaging of brain and scattering tissue

Multiphoton imaging is popular for tissue studies due to its capability to maintain subcellular resolution in scattering samples. It also enables multiparametric imaging when combining wavelengths, polarization and nonlinear responses. The talk will discuss advances in high-information content microscopy.

 

About the Speaker

Emmanuel Beaurepaire is a tissue multiphoton microscopy specialist. He works at the Laboratory for Optics and Biosciences (LOB) at École Polytechnique in Palaiseau, France, where he is a research director appointed by the CNRS. The LOB microscopy group has pioneered several multiphoton imaging developments, including multicolor and label-free nonlinear imaging, two-photon light-sheet excitation and wavefront control. These developments aim to address issues of complexity, speed and depth in tissue imaging. We apply these strategies to study embryonic and nervous tissue development and to develop optical diagnostics.
