After over 30 years of advances, multiphoton microscopy (MPM) is now instrumental in a
wide range of in vivo biological imaging applications. However, it has, until recently …

The brain is the central and most complex organ in the nervous system, comprising billions
of neurons that constantly communicate through trillions of connections called synapses …

The brain is a highly energy demanding organ, which accounts in humans for the 20% of
total energy consumption at resting state although comprising only 2% of the body mass …

In this series of papers on light microscopy imaging, we have covered the fundamentals of
microscopy, super‐resolution microscopy, and lightsheet microscopy. This last review …

For generations researchers have been observing the dynamic processes of life through the
lens of a microscope. This has offered tremendous insights into biological phenomena that …

Significance Light-sheet fluorescence microscopy is widely used for high-speed, high-
contrast, volumetric imaging. Application of this technique to in vivo brain imaging in non …

Three-dimensional (3D) microstructures used in the formation of optical traps on the optical
