Label-free, non-linear optical techniques provide unique insights into biological systems by exploiting multiphoton processes that offer intrinsic chemical and structural contrast. In particular, two-photon excited fluorescence (TPEF) intensity and lifetime imaging enable direct measurement of cellular metabolic function through endogenous fluorophores such as NAD(P)H and FAD. Combined with second harmonic generation (SHG), which probes the...
