Feasibility studies of multimodal nonlinear endoscopy using multicore fiber bundles for remote scanning from tissue sections to bulk organs. Sci Rep 2023; 13:13779. [PMID: 37612362 PMCID: PMC10447453 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-40944-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2023] [Accepted: 08/18/2023] [Indexed: 08/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Here, we report on the development and application of a compact multi-core fiber optical probe for multimodal non-linear imaging, combining the label-free modalities of Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering, Second Harmonic Generation, and Two-Photon Excited Fluorescence. Probes of this multi-core fiber design avoid moving and voltage-carrying parts at the distal end, thus providing promising improved compatibility with clinical requirements over competing implementations. The performance characteristics of the probe are established using thin cryo-sections and artificial targets before the applicability to clinically relevant samples is evaluated using ex vivo bulk human and porcine intestine tissues. After image reconstruction to counteract the data's inherently pixelated nature, the recorded images show high image quality and morpho-chemical conformity on the tissue level compared to multimodal non-linear images obtained with a laser-scanning microscope using a standard microscope objective. Furthermore, a simple yet effective reconstruction procedure is presented and demonstrated to yield satisfactory results. Finally, a clear pathway for further developments to facilitate a translation of the multimodal fiber probe into real-world clinical evaluation and application is outlined.

JOURNAL OF BIOPHOTONICS 2023; 16:e202200266. [PMID: 36642886 DOI: 10.1002/jbio.202200266] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2022] [Revised: 01/05/2023] [Accepted: 01/05/2023] [Indexed: 05/17/2023]
Abstract
Current solutions for bacteria and viruses identification are based on time-consuming technics with complex preparation procedures. In the present work, we revealed label-free the presence of free viral particles and bacteria with a computational two-photon fluorescence (C-TPF) strategy. Six bacteria were tested: Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Bacillus subtilis, and Clostridium perfringens. The two families of viral particles were the herpes virus with the cytomegalovirus (CMV, 300 nm of diameter) and the coronavirus with the SARS-CoV-2 (100 nm of diameter). The instrumental and computational pipeline FAMOUS optimized the produced 3D images. The origin of the fluorescence emission was discussed for bacteria regarding to their two-photon excitation spectra and attributed to the metabolic indicators (FAD and NADH). The optical and computational strategy constitute a new approach for imaging label-free viral particles and bacteria and paves the way to a new understanding of viral or bacterial ways of infection.

Abstract
Multiphoton excitation of fluorescence has many potential advantages over resonant (one-photon) excitation, but the method has not found widespread use for ultrasensitive applications. We recently described an approach to the multiphoton excitation of single molecules that uses a pulse shaper to compress and tailor pulses from an ultrafast broadband laser in order to optimise the brightness and signal-to-background ratio following non-linear excitation. Here we provide a detailed description of the setup and illustrate its use and potential by optimising two-photon fluorescence of a common fluorophore, rhodamine 110, at the single-molecule level. We also show that a DNA oligonucleotide labelled with a fluorescent nucleobase analogue, tC, can be detected using two-photon FCS, whereas one-photon excitation causes rapid photobleaching. The ability to improve the signal-to-background ratio and to reduce the incident power required to attain a given brightness can be applied to the multiphoton excitation of any fluorescent species, from small molecules with low multiphoton cross sections to the brightest nanoparticles.

Abstract
Multiphoton microscopy (MPM) imaging relies on the nonlinear interaction between ultrashort optical pulses and the samples to achieve image contrast. Featuring larger penetration depth, less phototoxicity, 3-dimensional sectioning capability, no need for labeling, MPM become a powerful medical imaging technique that can identify structural characteristics of tissues at the cellular and subcellular levels. In this review paper, we introduce the working principle of MPM imaging, present the current results of MPM imaging applied to the study of gastric tumors, and discuss the future prospects of this interdisciplinary research field.
