Ultrafast superresolution fluorescence imaging with spinning disk confocal microscope optics
Most current superresolution (SR) microscope techniques surpass the diffraction limit at the expense of temporal resolution, compromising their applications to live-cell imaging. Here we describe a new SR fluorescence microscope based on confocal microscope optics, which we name the spinning disk superresolution microscope (SDSRM). Theoretically, the SDSRM is equivalent to a structured illumina...
متن کاملGeneralizing the Confocal Microscope via Heterodyne Interferometry and Digital Filtering
We describe a generalized confocal optical microscope which measures both phase and amplitude, separately and simultaneously. The system is based on heterodyne interferometry, and is extremely fast and accurate. Together with the associated signal processing and data acquisition system, it can take data at the rate of 50,000 points per second, to an accuracy of 12 bits in amplitude and about th...
متن کاملNon-mechanically-axial-scanning confocal microscope using adaptive mirror switching.
A non-axial-scanning confocal microscope employing a monochromatic light source has been developed. The system controls the defocus of an objective into three to .ve optimized states by using a membrane-adaptive mirror, and determines the axial height of an object according to the confocal output value with each defocus. A genetic algorithm is employed to optimize the adaptive mirror shape, wit...
متن کاملAxial superresolution with ultrahigh aperture lenses.
We explore the current limits of the axial resolution of optical sectioning microscopy using a single lens, by combining the resolving power of novel 1.45 numerical aperture oil immersion lenses with superresolving binary aperture filters. We quantify the axial resolution brought about by the increase in semiaperture angle to max á =72.8 degrees and demonstrate an absolute gain in axial resolut...
متن کاملPolarization-assisted transverse and axial optical superresolution.
The superposition of two coaxial Gaussian beams with offset foci and orthogonal linear polarizations can be used to produce a right- or leftcircular polarization component with a focal spot of volume smaller than that of the Gaussian beam. This polarization-assisted axial and transverse superresolution effect is attributed to the differential Gouy phase shift within the focal region or to the n...
