Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The response of a given cell to spatially-resolved sub-cellular irradiation of a singlet oxygen photosensitizer (protoporphyrin IX, PpIX) using a focused laser was assessed. In these experiments, incident light was scattered over a volume greater than that defined by the dimensions of the laser beam as a consequence of the inherent inhomogeneity of the cell. Upon irradiation at a wavelength readily absorbed by PpIX in a one-photon transition, this scattering of light eliminated any advantage accrued to the use of focused irradiation. However, upon irradiation at a longer wavelength where PpIX can only absorb light under non-linear two-photon conditions, meaningful intracellular resolution was achieved in the small spatial domain where the light intensity was high enough for absorption to occur.
