Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for line excitation array detection (LEAD) microscopy. The systems and methods include an excitation beam from an optical beam source and a subject of interest. Light is scanned across the subject of interest and optical signals are detected using a parallel optical detection means. A number of mechanical, acoustic and or optical components such as scanning mirrors, DMDs, OADs, electric motors may be used in separately or in conjunction to aid in the scanning of the excitation beam across the subject of interest.
Claims19
A method for imaging of a subject of interest, comprising:
- providing an excitation beam from an optical beam source;
- line scanning the excitation beam across the subject, by using one or more beam scanners;
- and
- performing, using one or more linear arrays of optical detectors, parallel detection of optical signals from the different segments of the subject in response to the excitation beam.
