Fast 3D visualization of endogenous brain signals with high-sensitivity laser scanning photothermal microscopy

A fast, high-sensitivity photothermal microscope was developed by implementing a spatially segmented balanced detection scheme into a laser scanning microscope. We confirmed a 4.9 times improvement in signal-to-noise ratio in the spatially segmented balanced detection compared with that of conventio...
