Abstract
We present the detailed imaging of structures and processes of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) using non-linear microscopy. Complementary information about the anatomy of the nematode was collected by implementing a combination of two photon excitation fluorescence (TPEF), second and third harmonic generation (SHG and THG) image contrast modes on the same microscope. Three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions of TPEF, SHG and THG images were also performed. Moreover, THG imaging technique has been tested as a potential, novel, non-destructive diagnostic tool for monitoring cellular processes in vivo, such as neuronal degeneration.
