Raster adaptive optics for video rate aberration correction and large FOV multiphoton imaging.

Removal of complex aberrations at millisecond time scales over millimeters in distance in multiphoton laser scanning microscopy limits the total spatiotemporal imaging throughput for deep tissue imaging. Using a single low resolution deformable mirror and time multiplexing (TM) adaptive optics, we demonstrate video rate aberration correction (5 ms update rate for a single wavefront mask) for a complex heterogeneous distribution of refractive index differences through a depth of up to 1.1 mm and an extended imaging FOV of up to 0.
