Services.The CU Neurophotonics Research Center promotes interactions with biomedical researchers and optical imaging scientists employing the latest technologies in multiphoton and superresolution microscopy, optogenetics, and fiber endoscopy.

Two- and Three-Photon Microscopy
Two- and Three- photon microscopy allows deeper tissue penetration and can be employed in vivo for neural imaging.
|
Holographic photostimulation
Holography allows spatial control of light for targeted photo-stimulation of neurons using two-photon excitation of opsins.
|
Superresolution microscopy
Typical fluorescence microscopy is limited in resolution by diffraction of light to roughly ~200 nm. To overcome this limit techniques such as Stimulated Emission depletion microscopy can increase the resolution by 10 fold.
