Murat Yildirim presented his work entitled “Maximum Imaging Depth Comparison Using 776 nm vs 1552 nm Excitation Wavelength in Porcine Vocal Folds” at SPIE Photonics West 2013. He was the runner up for the JenLab Young Investigator Award for Best Paper presented by the Multiphoton Microscopy in the Biomedical Sciences Session. He was invited to give a talk about his work at the 8th Workshop on Advanced Multiphoton and Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Techniques, which will be held in Saarland University, Saarbrucken, Germany on July 1-2, 2013.  http://spie.org/x91872.xml
