The authors present triplet combinations of GRIN micro-lenses that are 350-1000 μm in diameter. Micron-scale resolution and the ability to visualize neurons and dendrites using 2PFME are demonstrated.

This study compares the time course of blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) signals acquired by fMRI in human subjects with the changes in total, oxy-, and deoxy-hemoglobin blood content as assessed simultaneously by NIRS during a finger tapping task. Of the three hemodynamic variables studied optically, the evolution of deoxy-hemoglobin content most closely follows the BOLD time course.
