Optica [#OPG_Optica] research from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign fills the gap in knowledge for the research of technologies examining the neuronal microenvironment label-free: https://bit.ly/4gKHPKe The team developed versatile autofluorescence lifetime, multiharmonic generation, polarization-sensitive interferometry, and Raman imaging in epi-detection (VAMPIRE) microscopy to simultaneously observe multiple facets of neuronal structure and dynamics. The technique serves as a powerful imaging platform for neurophotonics and beyond. Written by: Rishyashring R. Iyer, Janet E. Sorrells, Lingxiao Yang, Carlos A. Renteria, Eric J. Chaney, Kayvan F.
