Research Interest
Focuses on the development of new imaging modalities for multimodal non linear microscopy. Currently we employ second harmonic generation, third harmonic generation and multiphoton excitation fluorescence contrast mechanisms, which are generated simultaneously after femtosecond pulse excitation. Our microscopes are tailored to image non-invasively live cells and subcellular organelles. We investigate intracellular dynamics in photosynthetic systems, research contractility mechanisms in cardiac and skeletal muscle cells, and study structural organization of cancerous tissue.
