This paper reviews the rapid advances that have been made in one form of optical biological
imaging in the last decade, namely that of light sheet microscopy. Although the concept was …

The interaction between light and tissue such as absorption and scattering limits the
penetration depth and spatiotemporal resolution of in vivo fluorescence bioimaging in a …

Structured illumination microscopy (SIM) doubles the spatial resolution of a fluorescence
microscope without requiring high laser powers or specialized fluorophores. However, the …

Although the development of super-resolution microscopy methods dates back to 1994,
relevant applications in plant cell imaging only started to emerge in 2010. Since then, the …

Life is driven by a set of biological events that are naturally dynamic and tightly orchestrated
from the single molecule to entire organisms. Although biochemistry and molecular biology …

Fluorescence‐based microscopy is among the most successful methods in biological
studies. It played a critical role in the visualization of subcellular structures and in the …

Stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy generates super-resolved images of
single cells by point-wise depletion of fluorescence around a small focal volume. Scanned …

Self-reconstruction of Bessel beams in inhomogeneous media is beneficial in light-sheet
based microscopy. Although the beam's ring system enables propagation stability, the …

In the past decade (s), fluorescence microscopy and laser scanning confocal microscopy
(LSCM) have been widely employed to investigate biological and biomimetic systems for …

We propose and demonstrate a novel vortex Airy beam which is a superposition of an Airy
beam and its laterally sheared beam with a π/2 phase shift. This new-type of vortex Airy …
