Abstract :
We present two-photon luminescence (TPL) imaging of cancer cells through a 10 times 15 times 40 mm3 miniaturized probe employing a two-axis MEMS scanning mirror and an air-core photonic crystal fiber. The combination of TPL imaging with a small probe represents a potential method of distinguishing cancerous cells in tissue for diagnosis.
