We collected individual images via third harmonic generationa, where the frequency of the laser is tripled through nonlinear interaction across changes in refractive index. This GIF shows a static video take through the middle, showing an air bubble interacting with the laser.

Here's a 3D rendering from our recent paper in Optics Express. Using our multiphoton microscope, we imaged a ~40 µm fluid inclusion about 70 µm below the sample surface. Currently working on applications to meteorites and returned samples! doi.org/10.1364/OE.539000
