Deep Functional Imaging

Deep functional imaging uses optimized two-photon microscopy to visualize neural activity at depths beyond 1 mm, with performance depending on factors such as laser wavelength, labeling quality, and tissue preparation.

About Deep Functional Imaging

One of the most significant advantages of two-photon microscopy is the ability to examine not only the tissue’s surface but also its deeper layers. While confocal microscopy can penetrate the tissue, it is limited to just a few dozen micrometers.

Thus, a fundamental question arises: How deep can we effectively visualize within the brain?

The answer depends on a multitude of external parameters, including the laser’s wavelength and type, quality of labeling, tissue type, and preparation quality, among others. Furthermore, the imaging solutions themselves play a pivotal role in achieving depths surpassing even 1mm from the surface. In this context, we present our approach to Deep Functional Imaging (DFI).
