Degradation of multiphoton signal and resolution when focusing through a planar interface with index mismatch: Analytical approximation and numerical investigation

Multiphoton microscopy (MPM) is an invaluable tool for visualizing subcellular structures in biomedical and life sciences. High-numerical-aperture (NA) immersion objective lenses are used to deliver excitation light to focus inside the biological tissue. The refractive index of tissue is commonly di...
