Re: VisEn Prosense 750 on multiphoton?
HI,

we use VIsen probes such as Prosense and Angiosense 680 and 750 a lot in laser scanning microscopy with the Olympus IV100.
The IV100 has a laser for 748 nm excitation and appropriate filters.


I have not tried multi photon imaging of these probes yet.

You would need a suitable dichroic for direct excitation at 750 nm, the multiphoton dichroics usually reflect everything above 680 or so, your fluorescence signal would not reach the detector. Furthermore the normal photomultiplier detectors are almost blind in the far red, laser power would need to be reduced quite a lot... Has anyone tried direct 1P excitation of these dyes?

For multiphoton (in this case 2 photon) won't you need a very long

wavelength?  Probably >1200nm?  Ti:Saphs don't go beyond 1100nm so you

won't be able to use multiphoton to stimulate it unless you have a

Cr:Forsterite laser lying around or an OPA/OPO system strapped to your

Ti:Saph.  If you want to use single photon you can just tune your

Ti:Saph to 750 and you should be good to go.
