Multiphoton microscopy has become a powerful tool for intravital imaging. This form of microscopy provides particular benefit when applied to the primate retina as it provides access to structural components otherwise translucent, and molecules involved in cellular metabolism or the visual cycle. In this seminar, we present proof-of-concept studies of two-photon imaging to track the visual cycle in the living nonhuman primate eye. Further, we discuss safety aspects, and highlight future potentials for high- resolution imaging of the human retina in health and disease
