Light-field microscopy has emerged as a technique of choice for high-speed volumetric imaging of fast biological processes. However, artefacts, non-uniform resolution, and a slow reconstruction speed have limited its full capabilities for

extraction of the dynamic spatiotemporal patterns in samples. Here, we combined a view-channel-depth (VCD) neural network with light-field microscopy to mitigate these limitations, yielding artefact-free three-dimensional image sequences with uniform spatial resolution and high video-rate reconstruction throughput. We imaged neuronal activities across moving
C. elegans
and blood flow in a beating zebrafish heart at single-cell resolution with volumetric imaging rates up to 200 Hz.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
