Photonic microscopy emerged as an indispensable tool for biomedical research by investigating structural, molecular, and functional properties of life on the microscale. However, a restricted wealth of information, toxic labeling, or shallow imaging still impede a comprehensive examination. This thesis concerns the development and application of a novel hybrid optoacoustic and multiphoton microscope that attempts to overcome previous limitations by a unique potential of studying living specimens label-free, at so far inaccessible depth, and via multi-modal contrast.
