Abstract
A multi-photon microscope having an illumination source that transmits an illumination light into a housing having an objective lens arrangement for illuminating a sample disposed outside the housing and directing a first portion of emission light emitted from the sample to a detection system is disclosed. A light collection system is disposed proximate the objective lens arrangement for directing a second portion of emission light in a coaxial relationship with the first portion of emission light to the detection system such that substantially all of the emission light on, around and above the illumination region is detected.
