Ultrafast lasers enable rapid cancer diagnosis with simultaneous two and three-photon imaging
First published: 16 June 2025
Abstract
A new generation of compact ultrafast laser systems capable of simultaneous two and three-photon microscopy – including two-photon fluorescence (2PF), second harmonic generation (SHG), three-photon fluorescence (3PF), and third harmonic generation (THG) imaging – offer exciting potential to accelerate biomedical research and clinical diagnostics.
