Abstract:We demonstrate the first planar Airy light-sheet microscope. Fluorescence light-sheet microscopy has become the method of choice to study large biological samples with cellular or sub-cellular resolution. The propagation-invariant Airy beam enables a ten-fold increase in field-of-view with single-photon excitation; however, the characteristic asymmetry of the lightsheet limits its potential for multi-photon excitation.Here we show how a planar light-sheet can be formed from the curved propagation-invariant Air… Show more
