Cover Story: Quantum dots (QDs) are transformative tools for advancing multiphoton microscopy (MPM) in deep brain imaging. MPM reduces background noise and photobleaching but faces depth limitations from light scattering, absorption, and tissue damage. QDs have high quantum yields, large absorption cross-sections, photostability, and tunable emission spectra that enhance imaging by improving SBR and reducing scattering, thereby achieving greater imaging depth. Beyond structural imaging, QDs can be used in functional imaging for precise tracking of hemodynamic responses and neural activity. QDs are tunable for drug delivery and therapies, offering promising avenues for treating brain tumors and neurological disorders, thus cementing their role as versatile tools for both advanced imaging and therapeutic interventions. View this paper
