Entry term(s) microscopía de excitación multifotónica
microscopía de fluorescencia multifotónica
Scope note: Microscopia de fluorescencia que utiliza múltiples fotones de baja energía para producir la excitación del fluoróforo. Los microscopios multifotónicos tienen una vía óptica simplificada en la emisión debido a la falta de un agujero de emisión, necesario en los microscopios confocales normales. En último término, esto permite el aislamiento espacial de la excitación, permitiendo una mayor profundidad de imagen en los tejidos ópticamente densos, al tiempo que limita el fotoblanqueo y la fototoxicidad al área enfocada.

Scope note: Fluorescence microscopy utilizing multiple low-energy photons to produce the excitation event of the fluorophore (endogenous fluorescent molecules in living tissues or FLUORESCENT DYES). Multiphoton microscopes have a simplified optical path in the emission side due to the lack of an emission pinhole, which is necessary with normal confocal microscopes. Ultimately this allows spatial isolation of the excitation event, enabling deeper imaging into optically thick tissue, while restricting photobleaching and phototoxicity to the area being imaged.
