Label-free myelin imaging of a living zebrafish by simultaneous angular scanning microscopy
Optics and Photonics Congress 2019
Abstract: We presented collective accumulation of single scattering (CASS)1 microscopy and closed-loop accumulation of single scattering (CLASS)2 microscopy. However, its application to in vivo imaging has remained unrealistic so far to the long acquisition time of the time-gated reflection matrix. To speed up the measurements of wide-field and time-gated detection, a simultaneous angular scanning microscope (SASM) is developed to synchronously scan the angle of the sample and reference waves. Here, using this SASM, we obtained the volumetric images of myelinated axons located deep within the hindbrain of a living zebrafish without using any exogenous labeling agents.
