Abstract

Multiphoton absorption of femtosecond laser pulses focused through an objective with high numerical aperture (NA) can be used to image and manipulate cellular and intracellular objects. This review highlights recent advances in intracellular manipulation, including nanosurgery and labeling in living cells with femtosecond lasers.
