Adaptive optics for structured illumination microscopy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We implement wave front sensor-less adaptive optics in a structured illumination microscope. We investigate how the image formation process in this type of microscope is affected by aberrations. It is found that aberrations can be classified into two groups, those that affect imaging of the illumination pattern and those that have no influence on this pattern. We derive a set of aberration modes ideally suited to this application and use these modes as the basis for an efficient aberration correction scheme. Each mode is corrected independently through the sequential optimisation of an image quality metric. Aberration corrected imaging is demonstrated using fixed fluorescent specimens. Images are further improved using differential aberration imaging for reduction of background fluorescence.

Adaptive illumination reduces photobleaching in structured illumination microscopy.
Photobleaching is a major factor limiting the observation time in fluorescence microscopy. We achieve photobleaching reduction in structured illumination microscopy (SIM) by locally adjusting the illumination intensities according to the sample. Adaptive SIM is enabled by a digital micro-mirror device (DMD), which provides a projection of the grayscale illumination patterns. We demonstrate a re...
متن کاملSpatial light modulators in fluorescence microscopy
Spatial light modulators (SLMs) are becoming increasingly important in optical microscopy. These reflective or transmissive devices, based on microdisplays using liquid crystal or micromirror array technology, are used to achieve a variety of useful effects and imaging modes. When placed in an image plane, SLMs can be used to create arbitrary, computer controlled masks. These masks can then be ...
متن کاملAberrations and adaptive optics in super-resolution microscopy
As one of the most powerful tools in the biological investigation of cellular structures and dynamic processes, fluorescence microscopy has undergone extraordinary developments in the past decades. The advent of super-resolution techniques has enabled fluorescence microscopy - or rather nanoscopy - to achieve nanoscale resolution in living specimens and unravelled the interior of cells with unp...
متن کاملTheoretical study of multispectral structured illumination for depth resolved imaging of non-stationary objects: focus on retinal imaging
Current implementations of structured illumination microscopy for depth-resolved (three-dimensional) imaging have limitations that restrict its use; specifically, they are not applicable to non-stationary objects imaged with relatively poor condenser optics and in non-fluorescent mode. This includes in-vivo retinal imaging. A novel implementation of structured illumination microscopy is present...
متن کاملMultifocus structured illumination microscopy for fast volumetric super-resolution imaging.
We here report for the first time the synergistic implementation of structured illumination microscopy (SIM) and multifocus microscopy (MFM). This imaging modality is designed to alleviate the problem of insufficient volumetric acquisition speed in super-resolution biological imaging. SIM is a wide-field super-resolution technique that allows imaging with visible light beyond the classical diff...
