This article shows for the first time that it is possible to use the microfabricated lenses to efficiently induce non linear excitation and collect two-photon excitation images from cells with the same level of laser intensity & similar signal to noise ratio.

This is the result of a collaborative work from the In2Sight consortium led by Prof. Giuseppe Chirico:
