Dr. Petitjean will briefly introduce the technical and the practical aspects of SHG coupled to TPEF for preclinical and clinical research applications, then Prof. Christian Schwentner will describe his own use of the Genesis Imaging System to characterize extracellular matrix profiles in prostate and bladder cancer and will make a comparison with traditional staining.
Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) and Two-Photon Excited Fluorescence (TPEF) are classified as Non-Linear Optical Imaging and the Genesis Imaging System combines the potential of these optical technologies with automated image analysis algorithms. The Genesis Imaging System offers a high optical spatial and temporal resolution for a non-destructive imaging in biological environments.
