We demonstrate dual-Airy-beam-scanning-based volumetric two-photon microscopy (TPM) with depth-resolving capability. A pair of Airy beams with opposite acceleration is used as the excitation lights to sequentially illuminate the sample, and depth information can be resolved based on the deflection of the Airy beam. The depth-resolving range of the volumetric TPM is up to 32 μm. The advantages of the depth-resolved volumetric TPM are the depth-resolving capability over Bessel-beam-based TPM and less scanning times over traditional Gaussian-beam-based TPM. The depth-resolved volumetric TPM provides a promising fast imaging tool to study the dynamics in neural biology.

Partial-thickness burn wounds extend partially through the dermis, leaving many pain receptors intact and making the injuries very painful. Due to the painfulness, quick assessment of the burn depth is important to not delay surgery of the wound if needed. Laser speckle imaging (LSI) of skin blood flow can be helpful in finding severe coagulation zones with impaired blood flow.

Article Synopsis
- Scientists studied how cells in layers called epithelial sheets change shape and form, especially when they are pushed or pulled by forces.
- They used a special type of microscope to see how these changes happen over time and in different levels of the cells.
- The study found that the forces don't start in one place but are mixed, and some layers of cells move faster to catch up with others when changes occur.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a medical imaging method that generates micron-resolution 3D volumetric images of tissues in-vivo. Photothermal (PT)-OCT is a functional extension of OCT with the potential to provide depth-resolved molecular information complementary to the OCT structural images. PT-OCT typically requires long acquisition times to measure small fluctuations in the OCT phase signal.

Motile cilia are dynamic hair-like structures covering epithelial surfaces in multiple organs. The periodic coordinated beating of cilia creates waves propagating along the surface, known as the metachronal waves, which transport fluids and mucus along the epithelium. Motile ciliopathies result from disrupted coordinated cilia beating and are associated with serious clinical complications, including reproductive disorders.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFOptical coherence tomography (OCT) and its extension OCT angiography (OCTA) have become essential clinical imaging modalities due to their ability to provide depth-resolved angiographic and tissue structural information non-invasively and at high resolution. Within a field of view, the anatomic detail available is sufficient to identify several structural and vascular pathologies that are clinically relevant for multiple prevalent blinding diseases, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy (DR), and vein occlusions. The main limitation in contemporary OCT devices is that this field of view is limited due to a fundamental trade-off between system resolution/sensitivity, sampling density, and imaging window dimensions.
