Abstract:Two-photon microscopy provides subcellular-resolution imaging deep into animal tissues, and is frequently used for the study of biological and disease processes. However, its applicability in vivo is complicated by physiological movement. We demonstrate treatment with dexmedetomidine (DEX), an already FDA-approved alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist, to reduce tissue oscillation frequency and amplitude in the livers of anesthetized mice. Fluorescence intensity and focal quality fluctuations were found to impro… Show more
