Definitions
- the present invention relates to a laser microscopy technique which produces molecular excitation in a target material by simultaneous absorption of three or more photons.
- the invention is an improvement over the two-photon laser microscopy technique disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,034,613 to Denk et al. (hereinafter, the '613 patent), and this patent is hereby incorporated by reference.
- the '613 patent discloses a laser scanning microscope which produces molecular excitation in a target material by simultaneous absorption of two photons to provide intrinsic three-dimensional resolution.
- Fiuorophores having single photon absorption in the short (ultraviolet or visible) wavelength range are excited by a stream of strongly focused subpicosecond pulses of laser light of relatively long (red or infrared) wavelength range.
- the fiuorophores absorb at about one half the laser wavelength to produce fluorescent images of living cells and other microscopic objects.
- the fluorescent emission from the fiuorophores increases quadratically with the excitation intensity so that by focusing the laser light, fluorescence and photobleaching are confined to the vicinity of the focal plane.
- This feature provides depth of field resolution comparable to that produced by confocal laser scanning microscopes, and in addition reduces photobleaching.
- Scanning of the laser beam, by a laser scanning microscope allows construction of images by collecting two-photon excited fluorescence from each point in the scanned object while still satisfying the requirement for very high excitation intensity obtained by focusing the laser beam and by pulse time compressing the beam.
- the focused pulses also provide three-dimensional spatially resolved photochemistry which is particularly useful in photolytic release of caged effector molecules.
- a drawback to the two-photon laser microscopy technique disclosed in the '613 patent is that its applications are limited by the available laser technology.
- the two-photon technique requires use of a laser at specific wavelengths, depending upon the application, so that the sum of energy levels of the two photons provides the specific energy level needed to generate the desired fluorescent emission.
- some laser microscopy applications would require use of a laser having a wavelength which is not technologically feasible at the present time. For example, excitation of chromophores that have very short wavelength absorption, such as amino acids and nucleic acids, would require a laser having a 540 nm wavelength using the two-photon technique, and such a laser does not exist at the present time.
- the present invention provides a solution to the aforementioned problem through the application of three or more photon excitation to laser scanning fluorescence microscopy and to spatially resolved photo-chemical processing, such as caged reagent activation for icropharmacology and polymer cross linking for 3-d optical information storage.
- three-photon induced fluorescence obeys a cubic dependence on excitation intensity and four photon excitation obeys a quartic dependence, both provide intrinsic three- dimensional resolution in laser scanning microscopy. Although such 3-d resolution has already been achieved by the nonlinear microscopy technique based on two-photon excitation disclosed in the '613 patent, three-photon excitation provides a unique opportunity to excite molecules normally excitable in the UV range (230-350 nm) with near IR light (700-1100 nm) .
- biomolecules such as the amino-acids tryptophan and tyrosine, the neurotransmitter serotonin and nucleic acids, have one-photon absorption peaks at approximately 260-280 nm, and fluorescence can be excited in these biomolecules by three and four photon excitation.
- the advantages of using long wavelength, near IR light are possibly less photodamage to living cells and conveniently available solid state femtosecond laser sources for deep UV absorbers.
- the configuration of three-photon laser scanning microscopy can be identical to the existing two- photon systems. However, because three-photon and two-photon absorption spectra are in general quite different, the combination of two- and three- photon excited fluorescence microscopy extends the useful range of the laser systems currently employed in two-photon microscopy.
- a particularly advantageous application of three or more photon excitation is the replacement of excimer lasers for certain applications which require absorption of wavelengths around 200 nm.
- Three and four photon excitation by lasers generating much longer wavelengths should provide similar energy absorption and provide 3-d spatial resolution as well. Because excimer lasers are extremely expensive and user unfriendly, several photon excitation could be highly desirable.
- the measured fluorescence obeys an expected cubic law dependence on excitation intensity. Measurements of fluorescence power of the calcium indicator dye Fura II at an excitation wavelength (approximately 911 nm) well below the expected three-photon excitation optimum, showed that satisfactory fluorescence images should be obtainable at only ⁇ 5 times the laser power required for two photon excitation of Fura II at its optimum excitation wavelength (approximately 730 nm) .
- the estimated three-photon fluorescence excitation cross-section from these preliminary results shows that three- photon laser scanning microscopy can be done with a reasonable level of excitation power. How widely applicable this approach will be remains to be determined. Four-photon excitation may be limited by the onset of strong one-photon absorption by water above about 1000 nm.
- Fluorescence excitation by several photons does not significantly increase laser microscopy resolution because the longer excitation wavelength (for a given fluorophore) decreases resolution by about as much as it is increased by raising the one-photon point spread function to the power n for several-photon processes. Were it not for the wavelength factors, the increase in resolution of three photon excitation would be essentially the same as that incurred by adding an ideal confocal spatial filter to two photon microscopy.
- the photo excitation can be advantageously accomplished by multi-photon excitation of intrinsic chromophores or even added chromophores that have very short wavelength absorption such as amino acids and nucleic acids.
- Multi-photon excitation allows the selection of more available lasers providing subpicosecond pulses at long wavelengths and long wavelength light transmission to the microscopic focal volume where photo excitation is desired.
- FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic illustration of a laser scanning microscope utilized in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- FIGs. 2 and 3 are graphs of the average fluorescence intensity versus the applied peak laser flux density obtained utilizing three-photon excitation of Fura-2 and Indo-l, respectively.
- FIG. l illustrates in diagrammatic form a conventional laser scanning microscope 10 which includes three detection alternatives.
- a subpicosecond pulsed laser source 12 provides the necessary excitation of a specimen or target material 14 which is positioned on a movable stage or other suitable support 15.
- the laser 12 may be, for example, a colliding pulse, mode-locked dye laser or a solid state laser which can generate pulses of light having a wavelength in the red region of the spectrum, for example about 630 nm, with the pulses having less than 100 fsec duration at about 80 MHz repetition rate.
- Other bright pulsed lasers may also be used to produce light at different relatively long wavelengths in the infrared or visible red region of the spectrum, for example, to generate the necessary excitation photon energies whose sum will equal the appropriate absorption energy band required by the fiuorophores in the specimen.
- these would be excited by absorption of a single photon in the spectral region having wavelengths approximately one third or one fourth the wavelength of the incident light, for three and four photon excitation, respectively.
- three photons in the visible red region at 945 nm would combine to excite a fluorophore which normally absorbs light in the ultraviolet region at 315 nm, while three photons at 1070 nm would excite a molecule which absorbs at 357 nm in the visible light region.
- the single wavelength laser 12 can be replaced by two or more different long wavelength laser sources so that the incident light beam consists of two or more superimposed pulsed light beams of high instantaneous power and of different wavelengths.
- the laser 12 generates a pulsed output beam
- the scanner 18 causes scanning of the focal point or volume 19 through the material 14, thereby causing fluorescence excitation of the material 14 at or near the focal point or volume 19.
- dispersion compensation and pulse diagnostics One complication of femtosecond pulsed illumination is dispersion. Short pulses tend to be broadened when passing through optical materials because differing frequency components of the pulse band width travel at different speeds within the materials.
- Dispersion compensation for optical materials is not essential for pulses greater than about 120 fsec, as these pulses have a small frequency band width (about 4 nm) and thus experience little spreading. However, a 700 nm, 70 fsec pulse is found to be spread about 1.5 times by a good objective lens, and substantially more by standard acousto-optical modulators that may be used for beam modulation and shutters. Pulse broadening reduces the observed fluorescence proportionality.
- dispersion compensation for optical materials is effected by a double pass through a pair of glass prisms 26 and 28 that direct the light so that the higher (in general slower) frequencies travel through less glass and are thus restored to the appropriate phase lag. A totally reflecting mirror 30 is employed to provide the return pass through the prisms 26 and 28.
- pulse diagnostics 32 For quantitative measurements, it is necessary to know the wavelength and pulse duration of the excitation beam, and thus various forms of pulse diagnostics 32 are provided to analyze the pulsed output beam 16. For a rough monitor of both wavelength and duration, a simple monochromator which, in its standard configuration, provides wavelength measurement, is sufficient. If the output slit is removed and the resulting spectrum is sent to a screen or a one dimensional detector, the pulse wavelength band can be monitored. For a more precise pulse analysis, the pulse diagnostics 32 can comprise an autocorrelator which enables a direct, detailed measure of the pulse width and an indication of its phase coherence profile.
- the laser microscope 10 also includes first, second and third dichroic mirrors 34, 36 and 38 which are employed to split off the fluorescence pathway for each of the three detector alternatives.
- the first of these alternatives is known as descanned confocal detection.
- confocal detection the fluorescence beam is descanned to form a stationary image plane at a pinhole aperture 40 placed before a confocal photomultiplier tube (PMT) 42.
- PMT confocal photomultiplier tube
- a band pass emission filter 44 is positioned between the pinhole aperture 40 and the first dichroic mirror 34 to eliminate undesired frequencies from the detected signals.
- the second detection technique is known as Fourier plane detection in which the objective back aperture is focused through a lens 46 and a band pass emission filter 48 onto a Fourier PMT 50 without descanning. Because the back aperture is a pivot point in the scan, the fluorescence pattern is stationary at the photocathode.
- the third detection technique is known as scanned imaging detection in which the entire focal plane in the specimen 14 is focused through a band pass emission filter 52 and a focusing lens 54 onto an imaging detector 56, such as a CCD camera, whose acquisition speed is synchronized to the frame scan time.
- the initial choice of detection method may be dictated by an existing microscope setup or by the microscopy method necessary for the specific experiments planned.
- Each detection scenario offers its own particular advantages and disadvantages.
- the collected fluorescence is extracted by an appropriately coated dichroic mirror. Because the difference between excitation and emission wavelengths is typically much greater than the Stokes shift, the dichroic coating need not have the usual sharp cut-on between the reflection transmission bands.
- the emission filters 44, 48 and 52 are usually standard, although they need to be checked for proper rejection at the multi-photon excitation wavelengths. Because the ratio of the average excitation power to the fluorescence power is higher in multi-photon laser microscopy than in linear microscopies, a higher rejection ratio is required. Photomultiplier selection for a red- insensitive photoelectron emitter is therefore beneficial.
- the number of photons absorbed per pulse per fluorophore can be written generally as:
- the absorption ratio is unity at about 3 W laser power.
- this equal emission power depends specifically on the wavelength dependent cross sections.
- Higher ratios N->/ N_1 5 exist for known favorable fiuorophores and more may be found in research motivated by this invention and by other applications of multi-photon absorption.
- the selection of higher order multi-photon excitation process and optimization of excitation wavelength provides a means to select conditions suitable to minimize biological photodamage during fluorescence microscopy and microscopic activation of caged compounds.
- the selection of higher order multiphoton processes accommodates selection of available laser wavelengths.
- the imaging resolution is improved relative to two-photon excitation since the microscope point spread function, which defines resolution, is multiplied by itself to the power N.
- the resolution is further improved by nearly the same factor as insertion of an infinitesimal confocal aperture, neglecting wavelength factors which do reduce resolution as wavelengths increase.
- FIGs. 2 and 3 illustrate the fluorescence intensity as a function of the incident photon flux density for three-photon excitation of Fura-2 at l.o ⁇ m, and Indo-1 with Ca at 1.0 ⁇ m, respectively. In both cases, the fluorescence intensity increases in proportion to the cube of the incident photon flux density, clearly indicating three-photon excitation in the test materials.
- Another advantage of multi-photon excitation by three or more photons is that the favorable properties of two photon excitation are further enhanced in higher order processes because dependence of out of focus excitation falls off as successively higher powers N of the intensity with increasing values of photon order N.
- three or more photon excitation in accordance with the present invention provides access by visible or infrared light to excitation energies corresponding to single-ultraviolet- photon excitation, a whole new class of fiuorophores and fluorescent indicators becomes accessible to three-dimensionally resolved laser scanning microscopy.
- three or more photon cross sections are not yet known for many compounds, and diff-erent selection rules apply to three or more photon absorption, molecular asymmetry often allows both odd and even photon transitions into the same excited state. It has been found that effects of excited state symmetry do appear to shift the relative values of odd photon and even photon absorption cross section peaks.
- Multi-photon excitation may be particularly strong in the case of incoherent multi-step excitation where absorption of one energy (say by absorption of two-photons) reaches an intermediate state from which a subsequent additional photon provides the energy to reach a state from which fluorescence or photochemical activation can occur.
- Another application of the present invention is as a method for producing microscopically localized ablation of tissue or tissue organelles for their destruction or surgical removal. This is accomplished through use of the three or more photon absorption either by intrinsic chromophores, or by extrinsically provided chromophores that label the tissue and provide first characteristic energies for absorption of subpicosecond pulses of laser light providing the second characteristic energy which is about an integer fraction, i.e., one third, one fourth, etc., or less of the first characteristic energy.
- the molecules providing the necessary fluorescence can be intrinsic tissue fiuorophores.
