【摘要】Relying on simultaneous absorption of two or more near-infrared photons by a fluorophore, multiphoton microscopy can achieve deep tissue penetration and efficient light detection noninvasively, which makes it very suitable for thick-tissue and in vivo bioimaging. However, most conventional organic fluorophores suffer from severe aggregation-caused quench (ACQ) effect, which means their fluorescence is easily quenched at aggregate or solid state. In 2001, Tang and coworkers observed a diametrically opposite phenomenon called “aggregation-induced emission” (AIE), which provides an ideal solution to the notorious ACQ problem. Based on this mechanism, hydrophobic AIE molecules can be encapsulated with various types of nanoparticles, or form nanoaggregates in an aqueous solution spontaneously. AIE nanoparticles have bright fluorescence, large multiphoton absorption cross-section, and are very resistant to photobleaching even under high-power laser irradiation, which facilitates their applications in long-term multiphoton microscopy as nanoprobes. In this talk, I will introduce some exemplary applications of AIE nanoparticles in two- and three-photon in vivo functional brain imaging of mice, such as brain-microglia imaging, 3D architecture reconstruction of brain blood vessel, and blood velocity measurement. We also applied AIE nanoparticles in three-photon imaging of zebrafish at different growth stages.
