Application of multiphoton microscopy in dermatological studies: A mini-review
January 2014
TLDR Multiphoton microscopy is promising for skin studies but needs more research for clinical use.
The review discussed the application of multiphoton microscopy in dermatology, highlighting its advantages such as inherent axial sectioning and effective penetration depths due to near-infrared light. It covered the technique's role in imaging skin cancer, studying aging and regeneration, and analyzing transdermal transport of substances. The review also addressed the interaction of light with tissue and considerations for instrument design. It concluded by identifying future research directions needed for clinical acceptance of these techniques.
