Abstract

We demonstrate hyperspectral imaging by visible-wavelength two-photon excitation microscopy using line illumination and slit-confocal detection. A femtosecond pulsed laser light at 530 nm was used for the simultaneous excitation of fluorescent proteins with different emission wavelengths. The use of line illumination enabled efficient detection of hyperspectral images and achieved simultaneous detection of three fluorescence spectra in the observation of living HeLa cells with an exposure time of 1 ms per line, which is equivalent to about 2 µs per pixel in point scanning, with 160 data points per spectrum. On combining linear spectral unmixing techniques, localization of fluorescent probes in the cells was achieved. A theoretical investigation of the imaging property revealed high-depth discrimination property attained through the combination of nonlinear excitation and slit detection.
