Abstract

Abstract: Multiphoton excitation with ultrashort laser pulses has enabled high‐resolution imaging in biomedical applications, specifically for in‐vivo analyses in neurosciences. With the growth of microscopy techniques, laser technology has evolved. A new generation of femtosecond fiber lasers has recently emerged, outclassing conventional solid‐state lasers, owing to their remarkable high performance, small size, low cost, and high reliability. The attractive features have proved to be key benefits in a various number of imaging applications, particularly in neurosciences.
