  • Two-photon microscope with spectral resolution
    Patent number: 8094304
    Abstract: A microscope for generating an image of a sample, the microscope includes a light source for generating a pulsed light; an optical scanner receiving the pulsed light and transmitting the pulsed light to the sample to be imaged causing the sample to emit energy; a dispersive element that receives the emitted energy from the sample, disperses the energy into its spectral elements and transmits the spectrally dispersed energy; and a camera that generates a spectrally resolved image of the sample based on the spectrally dispersed energy from the dispersive element. Also described is a method of generating spectrally resolved images of the sample.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 16, 2011
    Date of Patent: January 10, 2012
    Assignee: UWM Research Foundation, Inc.

  • Two-photon microscope with spectral resolution
    Publication number: 20080088838
    Abstract: A microscope for generating an image of a sample, the microscope includes a light source for generating a pulsed light; a scanning mirror receiving the pulsed light and transmitting the pulsed light to the sample to be imaged causing the sample to emit energy; a dispersive element that receives the emitted energy from the sample, disburses the energy into its spectral elements and transmits the spectrally disbursed energy; and a camera that generates a spectrally resolved image of the sample based on the spectrally disbursed energy from the dispersive element. Also described is a method of generating spectrally resolved images of the sample.
