[ALPS5-01(Invited)] Development of photoacoustic microscopy for biomedical applications

*Yoshihisa Yamaoka¹ (1. Komatsu University)

Recently, we have proposed the introduction of a liquid-crystal element of adaptive optics and combination of two-photon absorption in photoacoustic microscopy (PAM). These techniques improve the spatial resolution and imaging contrast in deep tissues.
