Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of two-photon microscopic imaging, and in particular relates to a complementary Bessel light droplet two-photon microscopic imaging system. Background Art

[0002] Traditional two-photon fluorescence microscopy systems use Gaussian beam excitation, which requires z-axis scanning during volume imaging, resulting in slow imaging speed. Bessel beams have unique non-diffraction and self-healing properties. The non-diffraction property means that it has the property of maintaining its lateral light field distribution over a long propagation distance, and the self-healing property means that after encountering an obstacle during the propagation process, it can restore its original lateral light field distribution after a certain distance. Therefore, two-photon fluorescence microscopy based on Bessel beam excitation has the characteristics of long depth of field and less influence by scattering, so that fast volume imaging can be achieved. For sparsely labeled biological tissues, it can achieve an imaging throughput several dozen times higher than that of traditional Gaussian beam excitation two-photon microscopy, and realize volume imaging at a two-dimensional frame rate.

[0003] However, since there are a series of concentric rings, i.e. side lobes, around the central spot of the Bessel beam, and the energy share is high, a strong background will be generated, thereby reducing the contrast of the imaging. The current methods for suppressing the side lobes of Bessel beams mainly include confocal line detection, high-order nonlinear effects, image difference method, and light droplet method. Bessel light droplets use the interference of two coaxial Bessel beams of different NA to form a standing wave, thereby achieving the effect of suppressing side lobes, thereby solving the problem of low contrast of two-photon fluorescence microscopy imaging excited by Bessel beams. However, while suppressing the side lobe energy, Bessel light droplets will produce the phenomenon of alternating light and dark in the axial light field distribution, making it difficult to use in two-photon fluorescence microscopy systems.
