How Do Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Multiphoton Microscopy Work?
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and multiphoton microscopy are advanced imaging techniques that provide detailed images of tissues with minimal invasiveness. OCT uses light waves to capture micrometer-resolution, cross-sectional images of tissue structures, while multiphoton microscopy allows for deep tissue imaging by using longer wavelengths of light, reducing photodamage and autofluorescence. Both methods are valuable for in vivo imaging and studying dynamic biological processes.
