Abstract

A photonic crystal fiber (PCF) based dual-color nonlinear microscope that combines coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy and two-photon excitation fluorescence (TPEF) microscopy was developed and applied to imaging of polystyrene beads, lily pollens, and live breast cancer cells using a femtosecond laser.
