Optimal imaging contrast mechanism for different biological molecules.

CompoundImaging technique (excitation/emission wavelengths)

NAD(P)H2PAF/FLIM (excitation 700–730 nm/emission peak 460 nm) [16]

FAD2PAF/FLIM (excitation 700–900 nm/emission peak 525 nm) [16]

Elastin2PAF (excitation 700–740 nm/emission peak 400 nm) [15, 19]

CollagenSHG (SHG excitation is tunable/emission at one-half the excitation wavelength) [15]

LipidsTHG/CARS (THG excitation is tunable with emission at one-third the excitation wavelength) [14]
