Transmissive liquid-crystal device for correcting primary coma aberration and astigmatism in biospecimen in two-photon excitation laser scanning microscopy.

abstract：:In this study we examine the implications of excitation saturation on fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) experiments. In particular we present both experimental and theoretical evidence that fluorescein, one of the most frequently used fluorophores in FRAP, does not always comply with the basic assumpti...
