Axonal connectomics entails tracing of dense axons over large brain volumes. Here, we describe a light-sheet imaging approach using scanned Bessel beam illumination and confocal slit detection and the results of simulation-guided optimization. We evaluate the performance of our approach for axon resolution and segmentation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
