Fluorescence imaging has been widely used as a powerful tool for and real-time visualization of important analytes and biological events in live samples with remarkably high selectivity, sensitivity, and spatial resolution. Compared with one-photon fluorescence imaging, two-photon fluorescence imaging exhibits predominant advantages of minimal photodamage to samples, deep tissue penetration, and outstanding resolution. Recently, the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) materials have become a preferred choice in two-photon fluorescence biological imaging because of its unique bright fluorescence in solid and aggregate states and strong resistance to photobleaching. In this review, we will exclusively summarize the applications of AIE-active materials in two-photon fluorescence imaging with some representative examples from four aspects: fluorescence detection, cell imaging, tissue imaging, and vascular imaging. In addition, the current challenges and future development directions of AIE-active materials for two-photon bioimaging are briefly discussed.

Background: To evaluate the ganglion cell complex thickness in patients taking oral hydroxychloroquine.
Methods: In this hospital-based, cross-sectional, non-interventional, comparative study, 87 eyes of 87 patients taking hydroxychloroquine were recruited. All the patients underwent complete ophthalmological evaluation along with dilated fundus examination.

Background: The primary treatment for colorectal cancer, which is very prevalent, is surgery. Anastomotic leaking poses a significant risk following surgery. Intestinal perfusion can be objectively and instantly assessed with indocyanine green fluorescence imaging, which may lower leakage rates and enhance surgical results.

Marine vessels play a vital role in the global economy; however, their negative impact on the marine atmospheric environment is a growing concern. Quantifying marine vessel emissions is an essential prerequisite for controlling these emissions and improving the marine atmospheric environment. Optical imaging remote sensing is a vital technique for quantifying marine vessel emissions.

Understanding how molecular aggregation influences nonlinear optical properties is essential for advancing organic fluorophores in imaging, sensing, and photonic applications. However, the relationship between the molecular aggregation and the magnitude of nonlinear two-photon absorption cross-section remains underexplored. Here, we systematically investigate the aggregation-dependent two-photon absorption properties of the fluorophore TPAPhCN by tuning the degree of aggregation.

The development of low-cost, high-performance materials with enhanced transparency in the long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) region (800-1250 cm/8-12.5 μm) is essential for advancing thermal imaging and sensing technologies. Traditional LWIR optics rely on costly inorganic materials, limiting their broader deployment.
