Abstract
Rapid three-dimensional imaging over extended fields of view (FOVs) is crucial to the study of organism-wide systems and biological processes in vivo. Selective-plane illumination microscopy (SPIM) is a powerful method for high spatio-temporal resolution in toto imaging of such biological specimens. However, typical SPIM implementations preclude conventional sample mounting and have anisotropic imaging performance, in particular when designed for large FOVs over 1 mm diameter. Here, we introduce axial sweeping of the illumination into a non-orthogonal dual-objective oblique plane microscope (OPM) design, thereby enabling the observation of freely moving animals over millimeter-sized FOVs, at close to isotropic, sub-cellular resolution. We apply our mesoscopic axially swept OPM (MASOPM) to image the behavioral dynamics of the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis over 1 × 0.7 × 0.4 mm at 1.7 × 2.6 × 3.7 µm resolution and 0.5 Hz volume rate.
