Novel Multiphoton Imaging Techniques Reveal Brain’s Secrets Jan 11, 2019 — Nearly two decades ago, Winfried Denk and Karel Svoboda argued in the journal Neuron that “multiphoton imaging is more than a gimmick”1. At the time, confocal microscopy — combined with advancements in fluorescent reporter systems and an increase in desktop computing power — had set a high standard for 3D imaging of biological specimens. But Denk, a German physicist at Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, N.J., who developed two-photon imaging in 1990 when he was a
