Abstract:
Non-linear microscopy techniques are at the forefront of biomedical
research over the last decade. These non destructive modalities offer
improved resolution, high contrast images with increased penetration
depth and complementary information while minimizing phototoxicity and
photodamage effects on the biological samples. These properties
characterize them as perfect imaging tools for revealing valuable and
unique information of the specimen under investigation. These techniques
are not limited to visualization since they also permit precise
quantitative analysis and testing of specific mechanisms and biological
processes. In this talk, the imaging modalities of MPEF, SHG and THG
will be presented as novel diagnostic tools for the in vivo sub-cellular
investigation of complex biological activities and the extraction of
structural and morphological information from various samples. Moreover,
applications of non-linear imaging microscopy techniques to Cultural
Heritage objects will be discussed.
