Fast in vivo multiphoton microscopy using optimized light-sheet illumination

Résumé

Light-sheet fluorescence microscopy is a method of choice for multiscale live imaging. Indeed, its orthogonal geometry results in high acquisition speed, large field-of-view and low photodamage. Its combination with multiphoton excited fluorescence improves its imaging depth in biological tissues. However, it appears femtosecond laser sources commonly used in multiphoton microscopy at an 80 MHz repetition rate may not be optimized to take full advantage of light-sheet illumination during live imaging. Hence, we investigated the nature of induced photodamage in multiphoton light-sheet microscopy and the influence of laser parameters on the signal-to-photodamage ratio. To this end, we used zebrafish embryonic heart beat rate and fluorophore photobleaching as sensitive reporters of photoperturbations. We characterized linear and nonlinear disruptions depending on laser parameters such as laser mean power, pulse frequency or wavelength, and determine their order and relative impact. We found an optimal pulse frequency of ~10 MHz for imaging mCherry labeled beating hearts at 1030 nm excitation wavelength. Thus, we achieved high-speed imaging without inducing additional linear heating or reaching nonlinear photodamage compared to previous implementation. We reach an order-ofmagnitude enhancement in two-photon excited fluorescence signal by optimizing the laser pulse frequency while maintaining low both the laser average power and its peak irradiance. It is possible to reach even larger enhancement of 3photon excited fluorescence using such laser parameters. More generally, using low laser pulse frequency in multiphoton light-sheet microscopy results in a drastic improvement in signal level without compromising live sample, which opens new opportunities for fast in vivo imaging.
