Multispectral imaging microscope with millisecond time resolution.
A new multispectral imaging microscope with micrometer spatial resolution and millisecond temporal resolution has been developed. The imaging microscope is based on the use of an acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) for spectral tuning and a progressive scan camera capable of snapshot operation for recording. It can operate in two modes: images are recorded as a function of time or wavelength. W...
متن کاملNanoscale resolution in the focal plane of an optical microscope.
Utilizing single fluorescent molecules as probes, we prove the ability of a far-field microscope to attain spatial resolution down to 16 nm in the focal plane, corresponding to about 1/50 of the employed wavelength. The optical bandwidth expansion by nearly an order of magnitude is realized by a saturated depletion through stimulated emission of the molecular fluorescent state. We demonstrate t...
متن کاملAdaptive Scanning Optical Microscope (ASOM): A multidisciplinary optical microscope design for large field of view and high resolution imaging.
From micro-assembly to biological observation, the optical microscope remains one of the most important tools for observing below the threshold of the naked human eye. However, in its conventional form, it suffers from a trade-off between resolution and field of view. This paper presents a new optical microscope design that combines a high speed steering mirror, a custom designed scanner lens, ...
متن کاملA novel optical microscope for imaging large embryos and tissue volumes with sub-cellular resolution throughout
Current optical microscope objectives of low magnification have low numerical aperture and therefore have too little depth resolution and discrimination to perform well in confocal and nonlinear microscopy. This is a serious limitation in important areas, including the phenotypic screening of human genes in transgenic mice by study of embryos undergoing advanced organogenesis. We have built an ...
متن کاملElectron beam excitation assisted optical microscope with ultra-high resolution.
We propose electron beam excitation assisted optical microscope, and demonstrated its resolution higher than 50 nm. In the microscope, a light source in a few nanometers size is excited by focused electron beam in a luminescent film. The microscope makes it possible to observe dynamic behavior of living biological specimens in various surroundings, such as air or liquids. Scan speed of the nano...
