New microscopy platform enables imaging of neuronal activity at single-cell resolution at unprecedented tissue depth
As light travels deeper into the brain, it scatters. Three-photon microscopy, the current state of the art, reduces the resulting background fluorescence and can, in principle, image much deeper than earlier techniques—but to do that, it uses average laser power limits that cause overheating and damage living tissue.
