AbstractTwo-photon microscopy(TPM) that features subcellular resolution, intrinsic optical sectioning ability, and deep penetration in sample is a powerful tool of bioimaging. However, the process of layer-by-layer scanning to form a 3D image inherently limits the volumetric imaging speed and significantly increases the phototoxicity. Here we develop a gradient TPM technique that enables rapid volumetric imaging by only acquiring two 2D images. By sequentially exciting the specimen with two axially elongated two-photon beams with complementary gradient intensities, the axial positions of fluorophores can be decoded from the intensity ratio of the paired images. We achieve an axial localization accuracy of 0.728 ± 0.657 μm, which is sufficient for rapid 3D subcellular imaging. We demonstrate the flexibility of the gradient TPM on a variety of sparsely labelled samples, including bead phantoms, mouse brain tissues, live macrophages and live nematode embryos. The results show that, compared with conventional TPM, the 3D imaging speed increases 6 folds while the photobleaching and photodamage are extremely reduced.

Glutathione (GSH) is the main component of the mitochondrial thiol pool and plays key roles in the biological processes. Many evidences have suggested that cysteine and homocysteine also exist in mitochondria and are interrelated with GSH in biological systems. The fluctuation of the levels of mitochondrial thiols has been linked to many diseases and cells’ dysfunction. Therefore, the monitoring of mitochondrial thiol status is of great significance for clinical studies. We report here a novel fluorescence resonance energy transfer based two-photon probe MT-1 for mitochondrial thiols detection. MT-1 was constructed by integrating the naphthalimide moiety (donor) and rhodamine B (accepter and targeting group) through a newly designed linker. MT-1 shows a fast response, high selectivity, and sensitivity to thiols, as well as a low limit of detection. The two-photon property of MT-1 allows the direct visualization of thiols in live cells and tissues by two-photon microscopy. MT-1 can serve as an effective tool to unravel the diverse biological functions of mitochondrial thiols in living systems.
