An invasive instrument for treating a vessel, which possibly includes secondary vessels, has a tip formed for the dissection of tissue at the distal end of a shaft to be introduced into the body, with at least one functional unit. The tip includes vessel receptacle means, arranged and formed such that, in the operating condition of the instrument, the functional unit of the shaft is kept clear, so that working on the vessel, a secondary vessel and/or on the surrounding tissue is possible using or by means of the functional unit and with the vessel receiving means the vessel can be fixed in a spatial position. The tip is movable relative to the shaft by means of a guide element and the tip is shiftable in axial direction, so that during the procedure a vessel arranged in the vessel receiving means can be spaced selectively from the functional unit.

A device for multi-photon fluorescence microscopy for obtaining information from biological tissue has a laser unit for generating an excitation radiation, an optical unit implemented for focusing the excitation radiation for generating an optical signal at various locations in or on an object to be investigated, and a detector module for capturing the optical signal from the region of the object. The optical unit is thereby displaceable at least in one direction relative to the object for generating the optical signal at various locations in or on the object. The invention further relates to a method for multi-photon fluorescence microscopy. In said manner, a device and a method for multi-photon fluorescence microscopy are provided for obtaining information from biological tissue, allowing recording of section images in an object with a large field of view, and thereby are simply constructed and reliable in operation.
