George Kaplan has shown that US states with greater inequality have higher rates of violence, more disability, more people without health insurance, less investment in education and literacy, and poorer educational outcomes, all of which he calls structural characteristics. Moreover, the socioenvironmental characters of population areas are importantly related to the mortality rates, independent of the characters of individuals. In addition, personal and socioeconomic risk factors cluster together in areas of low income and high mortality. In a thorough local study of Alameda County, California, Kaplan examined parts of the pathways linking social class and mortality. His basic claim is that health inequality is correlated to social instability, which is in turn correlated to the lack of investment in structural characteristics, such as education, proximity of healthful food outlets, pharmacies, accessibility of transportation, etc.

Selective two-photon excitation can provide additional contrast for single-cell imaging. It might be particularly useful for co-localization studies. In Figure 8.8, it is illustrated on HeLa cells. The cells were co-stained with Phalloidin-350 (actin filaments) and with MitoTracker 488 (mitochondria). An amplitude shaping was used...
