We have developed photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) with three-dimensional (3D) micron-level spatial resolution. With multi-angle illumination, PAM images from different view angles can be simultaneously acquired for multi-view deconvolution, without the rotation of imaging targets. A side-by-side comparison of this multi-angle-illumination PAM (MAI-PAM) and conventional PAM, which share the same ultrasonic detector, was performed in phantoms and live mice. The phantom study showed that MAI-PAM achieved a high axial resolution of 3.7 μm, which was 10-fold higher than that of conventional PAM and approached the lateral resolution of 2.7 μm. Furthermore, the in vivo study demonstrated that MAI-PAM was able to image the 3D microvasculature with isotropic spatial resolution.
我们开发了具有三维(3D)微米级空间分辨率的光声显微镜(PAM)。通过多角度照明,可以同时获取来自不同视角的 PAM 图像,用于多角度反卷积,而无需旋转成像目标。在体模和活体小鼠中,对共享相同超声探测器的多角度照明 PAM(MAI-PAM)和传统 PAM 进行了并排比较。体模研究表明,MAI-PAM 实现了 3.7μm 的高轴向分辨率,是传统 PAM 的 10 倍,接近 2.7μm 的侧向分辨率。此外,体内研究表明,MAI-PAM 能够以各向同性的空间分辨率对 3D 微血管成像。
