Washington University: Dual-Laser Multiphoton Microscope for Immunology and Other Research

Dr. Mark Miller, Associate Professor and Director of the In Vivo Imaging Core at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, has a long history of building and using multiphoton microscopes, particularly for use in intravital studies of immunity.

In vivo two-photon imaging of “T cell antigen recognition” reveals the key role played by random T cell motility in initiating adaptive immune responses. T cells (red) in the cervical lymph node migrate away from high endothelial venules(pink) and make random contacts with dendritic cells (green, zoomed view).
