摘要
Significantly reduced tissue scattering of fluorescence signals in the second near-infrared(NIR-Ⅱ,1,000–1,700 nm)spectral region offers opportunities for large-depth in vivo bioimaging.Nowadays,most reported works concerning NIR-II fluorescence in vivo bioimaging are realized by wide-field illumination and 2D-arrayed detection(e.g.,via InGaAs camera),which has high temporal resolution but limited spatial resolution due to out-of-focus signals.Combining NIR-II fluorescence imaging with confocal microscopy is a good approach to achieve high-spatial resolution visualization of biosamples even at deep tissues.In this presented work,a NIR-II fluorescence confocal microscopic system was setup.By using a kind of aggregation-induced emission(AIE)dots as NIR-II fluorescent probes,800 lm-deep 3D in vivo cerebrovascular imaging of a mouse was obtained,and the spatial resolution at 700 lm depth could reach 8.78 lm.Moreover,the time-correlated single photon counting(TCSPC)technique and femtosecond laser excitation were introduced into NIR-II fluorescence confocal microscopy,and in vivo confocal NIR-II fluorescence lifetime microscopic imaging(FLIM)of mouse cerebral vasculature was successfully realized.
