Abstract

Abstract : Bismuth ferrite harmonic nanoparticles (BFO‐HNPs) are a non‐linear material capable of second‐harmonic generation (SHG). In article number1803776, Fernanda Ramos‐Gomes, Marietta Andrea Markus, and co‐workers use BFO‐HNPs to visualize macrophages in the lungs of mice with allergic airway inflammation. Using multiphoton microscopy, the intense SHG signals from BFO‐HNPs can track macrophages in the context of neighboring tissue structures in thick lung tissues at high resolution and with minimal background fluorescence.
