This chapter describes the integration of photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) with other optical micro-
scopic imaging modalities to achieve simultaneous multimodal imaging. We first discuss solving
the compatibility issue among PAM and other imaging modalities by introducing the laser-scanning
optical-resolution PAM. We then discuss the integration of PAM with optical coherence tomogra-
phy (OCT) and confocal microscopy for providing both optical absorption and optical scattering
contrasts. We also discuss improving the lateral resolution of PAM with adaptive optics. Finally, as
an important application, we discuss multimodal imaging of the retina.
