Wide and scalable field-of-view Talbot-grid-based fluorescence microscopy.

چکیده
Here we report a low-cost and simple wide field-of-view (FOV) on-chip fluorescence-imaging platform, termed fluorescence Talbot microscopy (FTM), which utilizes the Talbot self-imaging effect to enable efficient fluorescence imaging over a large and directly scalable FOV. The FTM prototype has a resolution of 1.2 μm and an FOV of 3.9 mm × 3.5 mm. We demonstrate the imaging capability of FTM on fluorescently labeled breast cancer cells (SK-BR-3) and human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK) cells expressing green fluorescent protein.

Wide field-of-view Talbot grid-based microscopy for multicolor fluorescence imaging.
The capability to perform multicolor, wide field-of-view (FOV) fluorescence microscopy imaging is important in screening and pathology applications. We developed a microscopic slide-imaging system that can achieve multicolor, wide FOV, fluorescence imaging based on the Talbot effect. In this system, a light-spot grid generated by the Talbot effect illuminates the sample. By tilting the excitati...
متن کاملWide field-of-view on-chip Talbot fluorescence microscopy for longitudinal cell culture monitoring from within the incubator.
Time-lapse or longitudinal fluorescence microscopy is broadly used in cell biology. However, current available time-lapse fluorescence microscopy systems are bulky and costly. The limited field-of-view (FOV) associated with the microscope objective necessitates mechanical scanning if a larger FOV is required. Here we demonstrate a wide FOV time-lapse fluorescence self-imaging Petri dish system,...
متن کاملFocal plane tuning in wide-field-of-view microscope with Talbot pattern illumination.
We have developed a focal plane tuning technique for use in focus-grid-based wide-field-of-view microscopy (WFM). In WFM, the incidence of a collimated beam on a mask with a two-dimensional grid of aperture produced the Talbot images of the aperture grid. The Talbot pattern functioned as a focus grid and was used to illuminate the sample. By scanning the sample across the focus grid and collect...
متن کاملLarge - field - of - view , multi - perspective Talbot microscopy
Common microscope objectives have fields of view (FOVs) of less than a few millimeters because of limits imposed by optical aberrations. To scale up the FOVs, additional lens elements and heroic design efforts are required to compensate for the aberrations, leading to reduced transmissions and higher system costs. Such FOV limitations have thus become amajor bottleneck in microscopy for large-s...
متن کاملWide field-of-view microscope based on holographic focus grid illumination.
We have developed a new microscopy design that can achieve wide field-of-view (FOV) imaging and yet possesses resolution that is comparable to a conventional microscope. In our design, the sample is illuminated by a holographically projected light-spot grid. We acquire images by translating the sample across the grid and detecting the transmissions. We have built a prototype system with an FOV ...
