    摘要: A multi-photon microscope has an illumination source, an objective lens unit arranged in an optical path of the illumination source, a first light collection system arranged to collect a first portion of light emitted from a sample when the sample is illuminated by light from the illumination source, and a second light collection system arranged to collect a second portion of light emitted from the sample when the sample is illuminated by light from the illumination source. The first portion of light when collected by the first light collection system and the second portion of light when collected by the second light collection system, together provide a means of collecting as much light from as many angles as possible emanating from an emitting point source. This collection scheme has the potential to approach the total emission collection of light from an emitting point source depending on the optical properties of the sample being imaged.

    摘要: Light collectors for fluorescence microscopy include slab light guides having a specimen volume such as a specimen well configured to retain a specimen. The specimen volume is bounded by a surface of the slab light guide that permits laterally propagating fluorescence to enter the slab light guide and propagate toward a detection or imaging system. Typically, the slab light guide has an elliptical perimeter and the sample volume is situated at a first focus of the elliptical perimeter. A reflector such as a conical reflector is situated at the second focus so as to direct the collected fluorescence to exit the slab light guide.

    摘要: Composite probes for super resolution optical techniques using super resolution via transiently activated quenchers (STAQ) include a donor moiety and an acceptor moiety joined by a linker, wherein the acceptor moiety, when excited by incident radiation, is excited to a state which, for example, absorbs in the donor emission region, such that the acceptor moiety in its excited state quenches at least a portion of the donor moiety emission. Other transiently activated quenching mechanisms and moieties could accomplish the same task by reducing donor population. Also disclosed are methods for irradiating a selected region of a target material including the composite probe, wherein the composite probe enables improved resolution by point spread function modification and/or nanoscale chemical reactions.

    摘要: Imaging of a turbid object utilizes interference among the modulation wavefronts of a plurality of modulated light rays propagating through the object by diffusion and having predetermined phases relative to one another. A computer controlled phase and amplitude selecting device, such as a zone plate, is used to modulate light rays at appropriate phases in order to obtain constructive interference only at a predetermined portion of the object, including one or more preselected voxels. The rays reflected from (or diffusively transmitted through) the predetermined portion are received simultaneously at a detector, thus providing simultaneously all the data necessary to describe or image the portion. A single detector element may be used to detect the scattered reflected or transmitted light from the portion and to generate a signal representing the amplitude and phase characteristics for the modulation wavefront, thereby to provide absorption (and other) characteristics descriptive of the portion. An array of detectors may be used to detect the light from a plurality of individual voxels simultaneously and to provide such characteristics for each of the voxels. By dynamically controlling the phase and amplitude selecting device, the voxels selected for imaging are changed without mechanical scanning. Light rays having different frequencies may be modulated to provide complete absorption spectra for an arbitrarily selected portion of the object.

A second axicon pair can be provided to recombine the tangentially polarized component so as to provide a more uniform beam intensity. The radially polarized component can be reflected or otherwise directed so that one or both the radial and tangential components are available for use.
