Saturated patterned excitation microscopy--a concept for optical resolution improvement.
The resolution of optical microscopy is limited by the numerical aperture and the wavelength of light. Many strategies for improving resolution such as 4Pi and I5M have focused on an increase of the numerical aperture. Other approaches have based resolution improvement in fluorescence microscopy on the establishment of a nonlinear relationship between local excitation light intensity in the sam...
متن کاملStandardization of excitation efficiency in near-field scanning optical microscopy.
Near-field scanning optical microscope (NSOM or SNOM) is a form of scanning probe microscope (SPM), which is used to observe the optical properties of a sample surface with a nanometer-scale spatial resolution. Since the near-field light strongly interacts with the sample surface, or with nanometer-scale objects on the substrate's surface, NSOM is advantageous to excite only the vicinity of a s...
متن کاملOptical-sectioning improvement in two-color excitation scanning microscopy.
We present a new beam-shaping technique for two-color excitation fluorescence microscopy. We show that by simply inserting a properly designed shaded-ring filter in the illumination beam of smaller wavelength, it is possible to improve the effective optical sectioning capacity of such microscopes by 23%. Such an improvement is obtained at the expense of only a very small increasing of the overa...
متن کاملMulti-photon excitation microscopy
Multi-photon excitation (MPE) microscopy plays a growing role among microscopical techniques utilized for studying biological matter. In conjunction with confocal microscopy it can be considered the imaging workhorse of life science laboratories. Its roots can be found in a fundamental work written by Maria Goeppert Mayer more than 70 years ago. Nowadays, 2PE and MPE microscopes are expected to...
متن کاملNonlinear Optical Microscopy Signal Processing Strategies in Cancer
This work reviews the most relevant present-day processing methods used to improve the accuracy of multimodal nonlinear images in the detection of epithelial cancer and the supporting stroma. Special emphasis has been placed on methods of non linear optical (NLO) microscopy image processing such as: second harmonic to autofluorescence ageing index of dermis (SAAID), tumor-associated collagen si...
