There is a problem with doing 2P imaging within the tunable range of
your excitation laser, since the microscope will have dichroics and
blocking filters to cut out that part of the spectrum.  You'd need to
change some filters - and, for safety's sake, probably put in some
interlock to prevent your laser being tuned into the danger range.

Dear List,

Is there a far red FP you'd recommend for 2-photon imaging in addition
to green/red pairs such as GFP/dsRED?

Thanks,

Lily
