Abstract

In this paper, we present our investigation on multispectral autofluorescence lifetime imaging of RPE cells using two-photon excitation. Morphological characters of RPE cells are obtained with high spatial resolution. Different autofluorescence lifetime parameters have been compared at different emission bands. Spatial distribution of dominant endogenous fluorophores in RPE cells, such as FAD, A2E and AGE etc have been obtained by the analysis of τm and a1/a2 ratio in the whole emission spectrum.
