<p>

best tutorial on 2PM = 2 photon microscopy.</p>

<p>

can start at min 11 up to minute 20or so. &nbsp;scan laser point by point in a raster.</p>

<p>

just collect all the light in a bucket... it is guaranteed to have come from one single spot

(where the two beams met and then emitted a photon.</p>

<p>

record with PMT = photomultiplier tubes.</p>

<p>

no pinhole (like a confocal);</p>

<p>

use pulsed laser but normal avg power &nbsp;v bright burst... &nbsp;only on &nbsp;abt 1 over 150k of the time.

(don't want to burn holes in sample or to need a power plant)

the laser itself hits the sample with two photons

titanijm sapphire laser.</p>
