Multiplane imaging and three dimensional nanoscale particle tracking in biological microscopy

Abstract: A conventional microscope produces a sharp image from just a single object-plane. This is often a limitation, notably in cell biology. We present a microscope attachment which records sharp images from several object-planes simultaneously. The key concept is to introduce a distorted diffraction grating into the optical system, establishing an order-dependent focussing power in order to generate several images, each arising from a different object-plane. We exploit this multiplane imaging not just for bio-imagi… Show more

“…Evaluating both the defocused and focused images, they were able to follow 200 nm beads with a standard deviation of r \ 4 nm for a z-range of 600 nm. Another method to detect particle depth positions is the use of diffraction gratings Dalgarno et al 2010). Evaluating the defocused particle images for different orders of diffraction, it is possible to determine the depth position.…”

“…A simpler version based on a grating that is able to image 3 planes simultaneously was presented before [3]. Alternatively, by inserting a microlens array into the detection path of a conventional microscope, one can capture light fields of biological specimens in a single exposure, from which images of individual planes can be recovered [4].…”

“…Several techniques followed and were based on the simultaneous imaging of two or more planes in the sample. In a first implementation, several parallel planes are recorded simultaneously and combined to achieve volumetric imaging [7][8][9]. Currently this approach allows imaging of a volume of a few micrometers deep.…”
