Abstract :
Photobleaching as a result of intense laser irradiation has been an important issue in the applications of laser scanning microscopy. In this study we are employing time-lapsed techniques to study the effects of photobleaching of dendrimer under multi-photon excitation. We have found that multi-photon excitation have impacts on the samples in ways very different from cw illumination in the linear domain.
