TPEF acquisitions. (A) 3D-cellularized scaffolds reconstruction. Blue refers to DAPI staining of cell nuclei, red indicates α-SMA—Alexa Fluor 555 immunostaining. (B) z-Stack measurement on the 3D cellularized scaffold stained for α-SMA. Excitation wavelength was 950 nm. Signal acquired in the red channel (641 +/− 37.5 nm) integrates the tail of the two-photon excited fluorescence response of Alexa Fluor 555. (C) z-Stack measurement on the 3D decellularized scaffolds stained for collagen I and IV. Excitation wavelength was 950 nm. Signal acquired in the green channel (550 +/− 44 nm) integrates the two-photon excited fluorescence response of both Alexa Fluor 488 and Alexa Fluor 555.
