ABSTRACT
AbstractMultiphoton microscopy (MPM) enables deep brain imaging. Three optical windows: NIR‐I, NIR‐II, and NIR‐III are widely used. Recently, NIR‐IV (the 2200 nm window) has been demonstrated to be the last and longest window for deep tissue MPM. However, so far MPM covers only two optical windows labeled by single fluorescent probe, one for emission and one for excitation. Here we demonstrate in vivo deep brain MPM covering three optical windows, with emission at NIR‐I, NIR‐II, and excitation at NIR‐IV, labeled by ICG. The innovations include: (1) characterizing both 3‐photon excitation and emission properties of ICG emitting at both NIR‐I and NIR‐II, in water, plasma, and circulating blood; (2) a home‐built multiphoton microscope with simultaneous dual channel detection, with which we demonstrate deep brain MPM 950 μm (NIR‐I) and 850 μm (NIR‐II) into the mouse brain in vivo, verifying that multi‐optical window MPM is promising for deep brain imaging.
