Abstract

We present a volumetric imaging method for biological tissue that is free of mechanically scanning components. The optical sectioning in the system is obtained by structured illumination microscopy (SIM) with the depth of focus being varied by the use of an electronic tunable-focus lens (ETL). The performance of the axial scanning mechanism was evaluated and characterized in conjunction with SIM to ensure volumetric images could be recorded and reconstructed without significant losses in optical section thickness and lateral resolution over the full desired scan range. It was demonstrated that sub-cellular image resolutions were obtainable in both microsphere films and in ex vivo oral mucosa, spanning multiple cell layers, without significant losses in image quality. The mechanism proposed here has the ability to be integrated into any wide-field microscopy system to convert it into a three-dimensional imaging platform without the need for axial scanning of the sample or imaging optics. The ability to axially scan independent of mechanical movement also provides the opportunity for the development of endoscopic systems which can create volumetric images of tissue in vivo.
