Résumé

Two-photon excited fluorescence (2PEF) microscopy is the most popular non-linear imaging method of biomedical samples. State-of-the art 2PEF microscopes use multiple detectors and spectral filter sets to discriminate different fluorophores based on their distinct emission behavior (emission discrimination). One drawback of 2PEF is that fluorescence photons outside the filter transmission range are inherently lost, thereby reducing the imaging efficiency and speed. Furthermore, emission discrimination of different fluorophores may fail if their emission profiles are too similar. Here, we present an alternative 2PEF method that discriminates fluorophores based on their excitation spectra (excitation discrimination). For excitation we use two lasers of different wavelengths ( ω 1 , ω 2 ) resulting in excitation energies at 2 ω 1 , 2 ω 2 , and the mixing energy ω 1 + ω 2 . Both lasers are frequency encoded (FE) by an intensity modulation at distinct frequencies while all 2PEF emission is collected on a single detector. The signal is fed into a lock-in-amplifier and demodulated at various frequencies simultaneously. A customized nonnegative matrix factorization (NNMF) then generates fluorescence images that are free of cross talk. Combining FE-2PEF with multiple detectors has the potential to enable the simultaneous imaging of an unprecedented number of fluorophores.
