Confocal and multiphoton microscopy were the staple of my Masters and PhD research. I was hooked from the first time I got to operate one, the sheer beauty of what you can capture in true 3D volumes is on another level from conventional photography and brightfield microscopy. Multiphoton lets you live image cells and tissues and directly visualise the dynamics of how they move about and change over time, which gives you even more insight into the function of biological systems. Absolutely incredible technologies.
