摘要:
本文提出了一种无衍射光片荧光显微成像技术,可以方便地对从微米到厘米各种尺寸的多种生物样本进行多尺度三维荧光成像。提出一种双环调控方法以解决传统贝塞尔光片旁瓣过重的问题,该方法能够可调节地产生0.4~5 μm之间不同厚度类型的无衍射光片,同时其旁瓣占比被压低到30%以下。基于这种新的调控手段设计搭建了一套多尺度光片荧光显微成像系统。该系统展示出适用性极强的多尺度成像能力,例如:活细胞双色三维动态成像、膨胀细胞三维超分辨成像以及介观尺度下全器官的高通量三维成像。证明该多尺度成像模式能够显著提升光片荧光显微镜的成像效率,由此可以推进细胞生物学、组织病理学、神经科学等多种生物医学相关研究的发展。
Abstract:In this paper, we propose a non-diffraction Light Sheet Fluorescence Microscopy (LSFM) technique, which readily enables multi-scale 3D fluorescence imaging of diverse biological samples with size ranging from microns to centimeters. To solve the problem of heavy sidelobes in conventional non-diffraction Bessel LSFM, we invent a double-ring-modulated approach which can generate non-diffraction light sheets with ~0.4 to ~5 µm tunable thickness and the ratio of the sidelobe was reduced to less than 30%. Then we built a multi-scale LSFM system based on this novel approach. The system showed versatile multi-scale imaging abilities, such as dual-color 3D dynamic imaging of single live cell, 3D super-resolution imaging of expansion cells and high-throughput 3D mapping of entire meso-scale organs. Therefore, we demonstrate that this multi-scale imaging modality can substantially improve the efficiency of LSFM for advancing various biomedical studies, such as cell biology, tissue pathology, and neuroscience.
