Structured light sheet fluorescence microscopy based on four beam interference.

چکیده
A 3D structured light sheet microscope using a four-faceted symmetric pyramid is presented. The sample is illuminated by the resulting four beam interference field. This approach combines advantages of standing wave and structured illumination microscopy. Examples of micrographs of fluorescently labeled Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells as well as of the compound eyes of drosophila are shown and the optical sectioning ability of our system is demonstrated. The capabilities and the limitations of the scheme are discussed.

Multimode fibre: Light-sheet microscopy at the tip of a needle
Light-sheet fluorescence microscopy has emerged as a powerful platform for 3-D volumetric imaging in the life sciences. Here, we introduce an important step towards its use deep inside biological tissue. Our new technique, based on digital holography, enables delivery of the light-sheet through a multimode optical fibre--an optical element with extremely small footprint, yet permitting complex ...
متن کاملcsiLSFM combines light-sheet fluorescence microscopy and coherent structured illumination for a lateral resolution below 100 nm.
Light-sheet-based fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) features optical sectioning in the excitation process. It minimizes fluorophore bleaching as well as phototoxic effects and provides a true axial resolution. The detection path resembles properties of conventional fluorescence microscopy. Structured illumination microscopy (SIM) is attractive for superresolution because of its moderate excitation...
متن کاملScanned LSFM with Confocal Detection
Light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) is a technique with a vivid development [1, 2]. In contrast to epi-illumination microscopy the sample is illuminated with a thin light sheet orthogonally to the detection path. Most often the sheet is formed by rapidly scanning a laser beam across the sample. This illumination yields intrinsic optical sectioning and reduction of photobleaching and phot...
متن کاملEffective elimination of laser interference fringing in fluorescence microscopy by spinning azimuthal incidence angle.
Laser illumination used in both conventional widefield epi-fluorescence as well as in total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy is subject to nonuniformities in intensity that obscure true image details. These intensity variations are interference fringes arising from coherent light scattering and diffraction at every surface in the laser light's optical path, including the lense...
متن کاملS: Widefield Light Microscopy with 100-nm-scale Resolution in Three Dimensions
2 ABSTRACT A new type of widefield fluorescence microscopy is described, which produces 100-nm-scale spatial resolution in all three dimensions, by using structured illumination in a microscope that has two opposing objective lenses. Illumination light is split by a grating and a beam splitter into six mutually coherent beams, three of which enter the specimen through each objective lens. The r...
