  • Publication number: 20240102924
    Abstract: A diagnostic optical microscope according to the present embodiment includes at least one laser light source (11) configured to generate laser light for illuminating a sample (40) containing a light absorbing material, a lens configured to focus the laser light to be focused on the sample (40), scanning means for changing a focusing position of the laser light on the sample (40), and a light detector (31) configured to detect laser light transmitted through the sample (40) as signal light. A laser light intensity is changed to obtain a nonlinear region in which the laser light intensity and a signal light intensity have a nonlinear relation due to occurrence of saturation of absorption in the light absorbing material when the laser light intensity is maximized. An image is generated based on a nonlinear component of the signal light based on the saturation of absorption in the light absorbing material.

  • Publication number: 20220275111
    Abstract: Compounds comprising a cross-linking moiety and a protecting group are described herein along with their methods of use. The cross-linking moiety may comprise an indoxyl and the protecting group may comprise a sugar (e.g., a glucuronide or glucoside), phosphoester, or sulfoester group. The cross-linking moiety and protecting group may be attached to each other via an oxygen atom, sulfur atom, or linker. In some embodiments, the linker attaching the cross-linking moiety and protecting group is a self-immolative linker. A compound of the present invention may cross-link under physiological conditions and/or in vivo.
