Two-Photon Excitation, Fluorescence Microscopy, and Quantitative Measurement of Two-Photon Absorption Cross Sections by Fredrick Michael DeArmond A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Applied Physics Dissertation Committee: Erik J. Sánchez, Chair Erik Bodegom Ralf Widenhorn Robert Strongin Portland State University 2017 ABSTRACT As optical microscopy techniques continue to improve, most notably the development of super-resolution optical microscopy which garnered the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2014, renewed emphasis has been placed on the development and use of fluorescence microscopy techniques. Of particular note is a renewed interest in multiphoton excitation due to a number of inherent properties of the technique including simplified optical filtering, increased sample penetration, and inherently confocal operation. With this renewed interest in multiphoton fluorescence microscopy, comes increased interest in and demand for robust non-linear fluorescent markers, and characterization of the associated tool set. -
Second Harmonic Imaging Microscopy

Mohler,* and Aaron Lewis‡ * Center for Biomedical Imaging Technology, University of Connecticut Health Center, Farmington, CT 06030-1507 USA ‡ Division of Applied Physics, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem 91904, Israel Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) has been developed in our laboratories as a high- resolution non-linear optical imaging microscopy (“SHIM”) for cellular membranes and intact tissues. SHG is a non-linear process that produces a frequency doubling of the intense laser field impinging on a material with a high second order susceptibility. It shares many of the advantageous features for microscopy of another more established non-linear optical technique: two-photon excited fluorescence (TPEF). Both are capable of optical sectioning to produce 3D images of thick specimens and both result in less photodamage to living tissue than confocal microscopy. SHG is complementary to TPEF in that it uses a different contrast mechanism and is most easily detected in the transmitted light optical path. It also does not arise via photon emission from molecular excited states, as do both 1- and 2-photon excited fluorescence. SHG of intrinsic highly ordered biological structures such as collagen has been known for some time but only recently has the full potential of high resolution 3D SHIM been demonstrated on live cells and tissues. For example, Figure 1 shows SHIM from microtubules in a living organism, C. elegans. The images were obtained from a transgenic nematode that expresses a ß-tubulin-green fluorescent protein fusion and Figure 1 also shows the TPEF image from this molecule for comparison. -

This technology enables noninvasive study of biological specimens in three dimensions with submicrometer resolution. Two-photon excitation of fluorophores results from the simultaneous absorption of two photons. This excitation process has a number of unique advantages, such as reduced specimen photodamage and enhanced penetration depth. It also produces higher-contrast im- ages and is a novel method to trigger localized photochemical reactions. Two-photon microscopy continues to find an increasing number of applications in biology and medicine.

Arrangement of a 4Pi Microscope for Reducing the Confocal Detection
Arrangement of a 4Pi microscope for reducing the confocal detection volume with two-photon excitation Nicolas Sandeau∗and Hugues Giovannini† Received 16 November 2005; received in revised form 7 February 2006; accepted 8 February 2006 Institut Fresnel, UMR 6133 CNRS, Universit´ePaul C´ezanne Aix-Marseille III, F-13397 Marseille cedex 20, France The main advantage of two-photon fluorescence confocal microscopy is the low absorption obtained with live tissues at the wavelengths of operation. However, the resolution of two-photon fluorescence confocal microscopes is lower than in the case of one-photon excitation. The 4Pi microscope type C working in two-photon regime, in which the excitation beams are coherently superimposed and, simultaneously, the emitted beams are also coherently added, has shown to be a good solution for increasing the resolution along the optical axis and for reducing the amplitude of the side lobes of the point spread function. However, the resolution in the transverse plane is poorer than in the case of one-photon excitation due to the larger wavelength in- volved in the two-photon fluorescence process. In this paper we show that a particular arrangement of the 4Pi microscope, referenced as 4Pi’ microscope, is a solution for obtaining a lateral resolution in the two-photon regime sim- ilar or even better to that obtained with 4Pi microscopes working in the arXiv:physics/0610036v1 [physics.bio-ph] 6 Oct 2006 one-photon excitation regime.

Cooperative 4Pi Excitation and Detection Yields Sevenfold Sharper Optical Sections in Live-Cell Microscopy
4146 Biophysical Journal Volume 87 December 2004 4146–4152 Cooperative 4Pi Excitation and Detection Yields Sevenfold Sharper Optical Sections in Live-Cell Microscopy Hilmar Gugel,* Jo¨rg Bewersdorf,y Stefan Jakobs,y Johann Engelhardt,z Rafael Storz,* and Stefan W. Hellyz *Leica Microsystems Heidelberg GmbH, 68165 Mannheim, Germany; yMax Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, Department of NanoBiophotonics, 37070 Go¨ttingen, Germany; and zGerman Cancer Research Center, High Resolution Optical Microscopy Division, 69120 Heidelberg, Germany ABSTRACT Although the addition of just the excitation light field at the focus, or of just the fluorescence field at the detector is sufficient for a three- to fivefold resolution increase in 4Pi-fluorescence microscopy, substantial improvements of its optical properties are achieved by exploiting both effects simultaneously. They encompass not only an additional expansion of the optical bandwidth, but also an amplified transfer of the newly gained spatial frequencies to the image. Here we report on the realization and the imaging properties of this 4Pi microscopy mode of type C that also is the far-field microscope with the hitherto largest aperture. We show that in conjunction with two-photon excitation, the resulting optical transfer function displays a sevenfold improvement of axial three-dimensional resolution over confocal microscopy in aqueous samples, and more importantly, a marked transfer of all frequencies within its inner region of support. The latter is present also without the confocal pinhole. Thus, linear image deconvolution is possible both for confocalized and nonconfocalized live-cell 4Pi imaging. Realized in a state-of-the-art scanning microscope, this approach enables robust three-dimensional imaging of fixed and live cells at ;80 nm axial resolution. -

A marked increase of spatial resolution over confocal microscopy becomes manifested in 4Pi-confocal three-dimensional (3D) data stacks of dual-labeled objects. The fundamentally improved resolution is verified both with densely labeled fluorescence beads as well as with membrane labeled fixed Escherichia coli.

Two-Photon Excitation and Photoconversion of Eosfp in Dual-Color 4Pi Confocal Microscopy

Ulrich Nienhaus*§ *Institute of Biophysics, yDepartment of Internal Medicine I, and zInstitute of General Zoology and Endocrinology, University of Ulm, 89069 Ulm, Germany; and §Department of Physics, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, Illinois 61801 ABSTRACT Recent years have witnessed enormous advances in fluorescence microscopy instrumentation and fluorescent marker development. 4Pi confocal microscopy with two-photon excitation features excellent optical sectioning in the axial di- rection, with a resolution in the 100 nm range. Here we apply this technique to cellular imaging with EosFP, a photoactivatable autofluorescent protein whose fluorescence emission wavelength can be switched from green (516 nm) to red (581 nm) by irradiation with 400-nm light. We have measured the two-photon excitation spectra and cross sections of the green and the red species as well as the spectral dependence of two-photon conversion. The data reveal that two-photon excitation and photo- activation of the green form of EosFP can be selectively performed by choosing the proper wavelengths. Optical highlighting of small subcellular compartments was shown on HeLa cells expressing EosFP fused to a mitochondrial targeting signal. After three-dimensionally confined two-photon conversion of EosFP within the mitochondrial networks of the cells, the converted re- gions could be resolved in a 3D reconstruction from a dual-color 4Pi image stack.
