To complement a project toward label‐free optical biopsy and enhanced resection which the overall goal is to develop a multimodal nonlinear endomicroscope, this multimodal approach aims to enhance the accuracy in classifying brain tissue into solid tumor, infiltration and normal tissue intraoperatively. Multiple optical measurements based on one‐ and two‐photon spectral and lifetime autofluorescence, including second harmonic generation imaging, were acquired. As a prerequisite, studying the effect of the time of measurement postexcision on tissue's spectral/lifetime fluorescence properties was warranted, so spectral and lifetime fluorescences of fresh brain tissues were measured using a point‐based linear endoscope. Additionally, a comparative study on tissue's optical properties obtained by multimodal nonlinear optical imaging microscope from fresh and fixed tissue was necessary to test whether clinical …
