Visible-wavelength two-photon excitation microscopy with multifocus scanning for volumetric live-cell imaging.

abstract：:Cellularity of the fibrous caps of coronary atheromas, manifested by the infiltration of macrophages (average size, 20 to 30 microm), is thought to weaken the structural integrity of the cap and predispose plaques to rupture. Therefore, an imaging technology capable of identifying macrophages within fibroatheroma caps...
