MPM is particularly useful for histological studies for several reasons:
Deep Tissue Imaging: The use of near-infrared light allows for deeper penetration into tissues, making it possible to visualize structures that are not accessible with traditional microscopy. Reduced Photodamage: Since lower-energy photons are used, there is less photodamage and photobleaching, preserving the integrity of the sample. 3D Imaging: MPM enables the acquisition of high-resolution, three-dimensional images, allowing for detailed analysis of tissue architecture.
