Special Issue on Multiphoton Imaging and Quantitative Characterization
Multiphoton imaging, including two/three photon excited fluorescence and second harmonic generation, etc., is based on the simultaneous absorption of two or more photons emitted by a pulsed infrared laser source. Due to its advantages including the deep penetration depth, the reduced photodamage and the lack of out-of-focus bleaching, multiphoton imaging has emerged as a powerful modality for high-resolution, non-destructive, quantitative assessments of tissue functions. Moreover, it enables label-free imaging of cells and extracellular matrix relying on completely endogenous contrast. Combined with quantitative characterizations, multiphoton imaging can provide new insights into assessments such as cellular metabolism and extracellular matrix organization which are important indicators during disease initiation and progression.
The aim of this special issue is to highlight the most recent work and developments in the field of Multiphoton Imaging and Quantitative Characterization, including fundamental, clinical and pre-clinical studies, as well as new discoveries and explorations related to the use of multiphoton imaging in life sciences and for health care needs. Research articles, reviews, short communications and clinical case studies are welcomed and highly appreciated. All manuscripts will be internationally peer-reviewed.
