- 08:03Results: In Vivo Dual-Modal Imaging of Spinal Axons and Myelin Sheaths
- 08:31Conclusion
Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy allows label-free imaging of biomolecules based on their intrinsic vibration of specific chemical bonds. In this protocol, the instrumental setup of an integrated SRS and two-photon fluorescence microscope is described to visualize cellular structures in the spinal cord of live mice.
