💡 New guidelines aim to standardize label-free optical metabolic imaging, a technique that uses light to study cell metabolism without dyes.

Consistency could lead to more accurate, reproducible results in cancer & drug development research. Read the #SPIE_JBO article: https://bit.ly/4isPMFc

Wrapping up #Mifobio2025!
What I love most about this conference is how it reminds me that science is, above all, a collaborative effort. Nothing beats the sense of community here. See you in 2 years!

Fun fact for multiphoton microscopy geeks: aberrations caused by vertical micro-interfaces appear to be a significant contrast mechanism in polarized THG imaging. 😎

Finally, we illustrate the relevance of pTHG microscopy for characterizing myelin distribution at different scales in fixed mouse and human brain tissue.

Our study presents a systematic characterization of polarized THG (pTHG) signals from individual axons, enabling the derivation of myelin scores in various systems. 🐭🐟
We confirm the sensitivity of THG for myelin in mouse tissue and detect early axon development in zebrafish.

We show that axons exhibit complex pTHG profiles that depend on axon morphology and can't be explained by classical models. We establish a numerical strategy to relate pTHG profiles to axon diameter and myelin thickness, taking into account myelin-induced optical aberrations.
