Light-sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) provides an ideal tool for long-term observation of live specimens due to its low photodamage and fast volumetric imaging speed. The wavefront distortions in the illumination path of LSFM will reduce the intensity and broaden the light-sheet thickness, thereby degrading the image quality. We propose to use the wavefront shaping technique to reduce the scattering effect and shrink the light-sheet thickness. Scanning the refocused laser beam to generate LS improves both the fluorescence intensity and the axial resolution. The axial resolution can be further enhanced by subtracting the two images captured via double scanning the samples with the refocused beam and the uncorrected scattered beam for each slice. The axial resolution is improved from 2.2 ± 0.3 to 1.5 ± 0.2 μm across the field of view of 270 μm × 270 μm. The effectiveness of the wavefront shaping subtraction method is demonstrated by imaging fluorescent beads and Aspergillus conidiophores behind a scattering medium.

University of Minnesota, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States.
Significance: We introduce a visible-light polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) system that operates in the spectral domain with balanced detection (BD) capability. While the BD improves the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the use of shorter wavelengths improves spatial resolution and birefringence sensitivity.
Aim: We aim to implement a new optical design, characterize its performance, and investigate the imaging potential for biological tissues.

In biological imaging, there is a demand for cost-effective, high-resolution techniques to study dynamic intracellular processes. Structured illumination microscopy (SIM) is ideal for achieving high axial and lateral resolution in live samples due to its optical sectioning and low phototoxicity. However, conventional SIM systems remain expensive and complex.

Super-resolution imaging methods that combine interferometric axial (z) analysis with single-molecule localization microscopy (iSMLM) have achieved ultrahigh 3D precision and contributed to the elucidation of important biological ultrastructures. However, their dependence on imaging multiple phase-shifted output channels necessitates complex instrumentation and operation. To solve this problem, we develop an interferometric superresolution microscope capable of optimal direct axial nanoscopy, termed VILM (Vortex Interference Localization Microscopy).
