Three photons are better than two

Biotechniques. 2014 Nov 1;57(5):237-9. doi: 10.2144/000114225. eCollection 2014 Nov.

Abstract

Three-photon microscopy was suggested in the 1990s, but laser technology at the time was just not up to the challenge. Lauren Ware explores how recent technology advances are bringing three-photon microscopy back into focus.
