Two Photon: Image Deeper with Less Photo Damage

Two photon uses two photons to excite a single electronic transition. this means that both photons need to be absorbed simultaneously.  Single photon absorption follows Beers law

Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM): Separate fluorophores based on average time in the excited state.

start with single photon counting and decay curves

 

then introduce Phasor plots
