We implemented two-photon scanned light-sheet microscopy, combining nonlinear
excitation with orthogonal illumination of light-sheet microscopy, and showed its excellent
performance for in vivo, cellular-resolution, three-dimensional imaging of large biological
samples. Live imaging of fruit fly and zebrafish embryos confirmed that the technique can be
used to image up to twice deeper than with one-photon light-sheet microscopy and more

Abstract
We implemented two-photon scanned light-sheet microscopy, combining nonlinear excitation with orthogonal illumination of light-sheet microscopy, and showed its excellent performance for in vivo, cellular-resolution, three-dimensional imaging of large biological samples. Live imaging of fruit fly and zebrafish embryos confirmed that the technique can be used to image up to twice deeper than with one-photon light-sheet microscopy and more than ten times faster than with point-scanning two-photon microscopy without compromising normal biology.
