Adaptive optics in microscopy

Abstract: The imaging properties of optical microscopes are often compromised by aberrations that reduce image resolution and contrast. Adaptive optics technology has been employed in various systems to correct these aberrations and restore performance. This has required various departures from the traditional adaptive optics schemes that are used in astronomy. This review discusses the sources of aberrations, their effects and their correction with adaptive optics, particularly in confocal and two-photon microscopes. D… Show more

“…Done correctly, this should reduce the pixel-to-pixel illumination difference dramatically, removing the artifacts across IR images. We will finally be able to exploit the order of magnitude spectral advantage in signalto-noise expected per single FPA pixel at the highest magnification and image oversampling [8,9]. Currently under commissioning, the aim is to take users with this system within the next year.…”

“…Previous exciting works in adaptive optics (AO) have exploited these advantages and demonstrated aberration correction for a large field of view (FOV) by averaging the correction wavefront or using only the low-order modes of correction (5)(6)(7)(8)(9). However, these methods are valid when imaging transparent tissues or at shallow depth in turbid tissues.…”

“…We chose an approach to change the phase information from a hologram to compensate optical system wave aberrations in the viewing-window holographic display. The renowned approach to changing a phase is to use both a wavefront sensor (or an optical interferometer) that can quantitatively measure wave aberrations and a deformable mirror that controls a physical surface in a random form [18], [19].…”
