title: Caught in the act: intravital multiphoton microscopy of host-pathogen interactions.
abstract: Intravital multiphoton microscopy provides a unique opportunity to discover and characterize biological phenomena in the natural context of living organisms. Here we provide an overview of multiphoton microscopy with particular attention to its application for studying host-pathogen interactions.
