Abstract
En 中文
Despite its massive potential, standard light-sheet imaging (LSI) faces key challenges, such as the incompatibility with common sample mounting techniques and low-resolution imaging. Single-objective LSI attempts to address these issues but often suffers from limited fields-of-view and throughput rates, or requires multiple optics that increase costs, alignment complexity, and losses. To overcome these challenges of standard single-objective LSI, we introduce single-objective Airy light-sheet imaging (SoALSI). SoALSI leverages the extraordinary self-acceleration properties of the Airy beam, achieving 5x higher imaging rates and enhanced imaging efficiency than standard single-objective LSI. We demonstrate SoALSI's versatility through rigorous contrast and resolution characterizations and by high-resolution imaging of diverse biological specimens, including malaria parasite-infected red blood cells and plant root tissue. SoALSI seamlessly integrates with any standard inverted microscope frame, enabling broader accessibility for the bioimaging community to explore biological processes in a wide range of specimens with enhanced resolution and imaging contrast.
