Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of confocal microscopy, in particular to a two-photon fluorescence microscopy method and device based on photon reconstruction. Background technique [0002] Two-photon fluorescence microscopy enables three-dimensional imaging in living biological samples. Compared with traditional confocal microscopy, two-photon can achieve better optical sectioning function, deeper penetration depth and less phototoxicity. The single-photon excitation process is that the ground state electron absorbs a short-wavelength photon to reach the excited state. This process generally requires ultraviolet or blue / green light, and these short-wavelength light may cause severe phototoxicity to biological samples. For two-photon excitation, under the condition of sufficient light intensity, the excitation of ground state electrons can be realized by simultaneously absorbing two photons with lower energy (the wavelength is usually in the infra...
