| Featured Article |  | Application Note: Nonlinear Microscopy
Ultrafast lasers have revolutionized the field of microscopy by enabling new types of nonlinear microscopy techniques. The majority of LSM work is done using normal, single-photon fluorescence using blue and green laser sources. However, nonlinear microscopy offers certain advantages over single-photon methods. Here, we describe the two main varieties of nonlinear microscopy — two-photon microscopy and third-harmonic generation microscopy — and we show images using these techniques with various types of modelocked fiber lasers...
