How is Multiphoton Microscopy Beneficial for Live Tissue Imaging?
Multiphoton microscopy is particularly beneficial for imaging live tissues because it uses longer wavelength light, which penetrates deeper into tissues with less photodamage and photobleaching. This allows for extended imaging sessions and the observation of dynamic biological processes in living organisms. It is especially useful for studies in developmental biology, neuroscience, and other fields where maintaining tissue viability is crucial.
