Abstract: The present invention proposes a technology that enables in vivo imaging while expanding the penetration depth of light into the tissue in an ultrasound-induced optical clearing microscopy (USOCM) system using an optical microscope, in particular, a non-linear optical microscope such as a two-photon microscope, and an ultrasonic transducer. For maximum efficiency, the ultrasonic transducer should be positioned between an optical microscope (objective lens) and the sample. In this case, since an existing ultrasonic transducer is opaque, a laser beam of an optical microscope using an ultrashort laser system cannot pass through the existing ultrasonic transducer. In order to solve such a problem, a transparent ultrasonic transducer is applied such that there is no problem in a laser beam passing therethrough and reaching a sample.
