Hyperspectral fluorescence imaging improves multiplexed observations of biological samples by utilizing multiple color channels across the spectral range to compensate for spectral overlap between labels. Typically, spectral resolution comes at a cost of decreased detection efficiency, which both hampers imaging speed and increases photo-toxicity to the samples. Here, we present a high-speed, high-efficiency snapshot spectral acquisition method, based on optical compression of the fluorescence spectra via Fourier transform, that overcomes the challenges of discrete spectral sampling: single-shot hyperspectral phasor camera (SHy-Cam). SHy-Cam captures fluorescence spatial and spectral information in a single exposure with a standard scientific CMOS camera, with photon efficiency of over 80%, easily and with acquisition rates exceeding 30 datasets per second, making it a powerful tool for multi-color imaging. Its simple design, using readily available optical components, and its easy integration provide a low-cost solution for multi-color fluorescence imaging with increased efficiency and speed.

Laser-scanning confocal hyperspectral microscopy is a powerful technique to identify the different sample constituents and their spatial distribution in three-dimensional (3D). However, it suffers from low imaging speed because of the mechanical scanning methods. To overcome this challenge, we propose a snapshot hyperspectral confocal microscopy imaging system (SHCMS).

Article Synopsis
  • The study showcases a method for imaging liquid diisopropyl methylphosphonate from a distance of 1 meter using two techniques: multi-bandpass filter imaging (MBFI) and fiber-bundle imaging spectroscopy (FBIS).
  • MBFI offers good spatial resolution but struggles with spectral resolution because of limitations in available filters, while FBIS excels in spectral resolution at the cost of spatial resolution due to a limited number of fibers.
  • For effective FBIS results at 1 meter, the minimum required pump fluence is identified as 10 mJ/cm² to achieve quality single-shot spectra.

In order to capture the spatial-spectral (x,y,λ) information of the scene, various techniques have been proposed. Different from the widely used scanning-based methods, spectral snapshot compressive imaging (SCI) utilizes the idea of compressive sensing to compressively capture the 3D spatial-spectral data-cube in a single-shot 2D measurement and thus it is efficient, enjoying the advantages of high-speed and low bandwidth. However, , i.

A compressive space-dimensional dual-coded hyperspectral polarimeter (CSDHP) and interactive design method are introduced. A digital micromirror device (DMD), a micro polarizer array detector (MPA), and a prism grating prism (PGP) are combined to achieve single-shot hyperspectral polarization imaging. The longitudinal chromatic aberration (LCA) and spectral smile of the system are both eliminated to guarantee the matching accuracy of DMD and MPA pixels.
