Nonlinear microscopy: new techniques and applications

Nonlinear microscopy, a general term that embraces any microscopy technique based on nonlinear optics, is further establishing itself as an important tool in neurobiology. Recent advances in labels, labeling techniques, and the use of native or genetically encoded contrast agents have bolstered the capacity of nonlinear microscopes to image the structure and function of not just single cells but of entire networks of cells. Along with novel strategies to image over exceptionally long durations and with increased depth penetration in living brains, these advances are opening new opportunities in neurobiology that were previously unavailable.
