Abstract
The invention relates to a method and a system to achieve spatially (e.g. three-dimensionally) confined photomodulation at the focal volume () in a ample () mounted in a microscope system, comprising two or more laser light sources () emitting light () of different wavelengths adapted to excite a material in an identical number of independent excitation steps to a higher vibrational state from which the material relaxes, either emitting a conversion light to be detected ('photoexcitation') or modulating the spectral properties of the material ('photomodulation').
