Abstract: Compared with traditional optical imaging techniques, the fast-developing multiphoton microscopy technologies possess multiple advantages, such as deep penetration, low tissue photo-damaging, high signal-to-noise ratio, and excellent optical sectioning ability. Therefore, they have been widely applied in tissue-level microscopy in vivo for brains, tumors and embryos. This article reviews the recent development of new multiphoton microscopy technologies, including miniaturized two-photon microscopy, two-photon endoscopy, and three-photon microscopy. The review briefly illustrates their principles and characteristics, introduces the latest progresses in these areas, summarizes their main applications in basic research and clinical diagnosis, and discusses their potential application and development in the future. With the advances in laser devices and optical detectors, multiphoton microscopy will become an important tool for biomedical research with broad applications. -
