Light-sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) is a powerful tool for biological studies because it allows for optical sectioning of dynamic samples with superior temporal resolution. However, LSFM using 2 orthogonally co-aligned objectives requires a special sample geometry, and volumetric imaging speed is limited due to physical sample translation. This paper describes an oblique scanning 2-photon LSFM (OS-2P-LSFM) that eliminates these limitations by using a single objective near the sample and a refractive scanning-descanning system. This system also provides improved light-sheet confinement against scattering by using a 2-photon Bessel beam. The OS-2P-LSFM hold promise for studying structural, functional and dynamic aspects of living tissues and organisms because it allows for high-speed, translation-free and scattering-robust 3D imaging of large biological specimens.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009900 Optic Nerve The 2nd cranial nerve which conveys visual information from the RETINA to the brain. The nerve carries the axons of the RETINAL GANGLION CELLS which sort at the OPTIC CHIASM and continue via the OPTIC TRACTS to the brain. The largest projection is to the lateral geniculate nuclei; other targets include the SUPERIOR COLLICULI and the SUPRACHIASMATIC NUCLEI. Though known as the second cranial nerve, it is considered part of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D021621 Imaging, Three-Dimensional The process of generating three-dimensional images by electronic, photographic, or other methods. For example, three-dimensional images can be generated by assembling multiple tomographic images with the aid of a computer, while photographic 3-D images (HOLOGRAPHY) can be made by exposing film to the interference pattern created when two laser light sources shine on an object.

D036641 Microscopy, Fluorescence, Multiphoton Fluorescence microscopy utilizing multiple low-energy photons to produce the excitation event of the fluorophore (endogenous fluorescent molecules in living tissues or FLUORESCENT DYES). Multiphoton microscopes have a simplified optical path in the emission side due to the lack of an emission pinhole, which is necessary with normal confocal microscopes. Ultimately this allows spatial isolation of the excitation event, enabling deeper imaging into optically thick tissue, while restricting photobleaching and phototoxicity to the area being imaged.
