Modulating laser intensity on multiple timescales (x, y and z)

Posted on March 25, 2016 by P.T.R. Rupprecht

In point-scanning microscopy and especially when using resonant scanners, the intensity of the beam is typically modulated using a Pockels cell. For resonant scanning, the dwell time per micrometer is not constant along the scanned line, and one wants either to … Continue reading →

Undistort/unwarp images for resonant scanning microscopy

Posted on February 16, 2016 by P.T.R. Rupprecht

For image acquisition using a resonant scanning microscope, one of the image axes is scanned non-linearly, following the natural sinusoidal movements of the resonant scanner. This leads to a distortion of the acquired images, unless a online correction algorithm or … Continue reading →

Some interesting 2-photon microscopy papers

Posted on March 13, 2014 by P.T.R. Rupprecht

In the last few months, I built a special kind of 2P-microsope. In the meantime, I encountered some papers on microscope techniques which I found interesting and worth a side-note. Using AODs instead of galvoscanners for point-scanning: High-speed in vivo … Continue reading →
