摘要:
The invention relates to a nonlinear optical microscope using a Bessel laser beam so as to image a sample with good lateral resolution and extended field depth. This microscope incorporates a slide scanner. The sample is disposed on a slide, which is loaded automatically onto a motorized platen, so that the laser beam can sweep the entire slide. The useful signals originating from the sample are combined with the conventional image of the slide scanner so as to obtain a global image which clearly reveals, with good resolution, elements of interest.
