Fourier multiplexed FLIM (FmFLIM) tomography enables multiplexed 3D lifetime imaging of whole embryos. In our previous FmFLIM system, the spatial resolution was limited to 25 μm because of the trade-off between the spatial resolution and the imaging depth. In order to achieve cellular resolution imaging of thick specimens, we built a tomography system with dual-color Bessel beam. In combination with FmFLIM, the Bessel FmFLIM tomography system can perform parallel 3D lifetime imaging on multiple excitation-emission channels at a cellular resolution of 2.8 μm. The image capability of the Bessel FmFLIM tomography system was demonstrated by 3D lifetime imaging of dual-labeled transgenic zebrafish embryos.
傅里叶复用荧光寿命成像(FmFLIM)断层扫描技术能够对整个胚胎进行复用三维寿命成像。在我们之前的FmFLIM系统中,由于空间分辨率与成像深度之间的权衡,空间分辨率被限制在25μm。为了实现对厚标本的细胞分辨率成像,我们构建了一个双色贝塞尔光束断层扫描系统。结合FmFLIM,贝塞尔FmFLIM断层扫描系统能够在多个激发-发射通道上以2.8μm的细胞分辨率进行并行三维寿命成像。通过对双标记转基因斑马鱼胚胎的三维寿命成像,展示了贝塞尔FmFLIM断层扫描系统的成像能力。
