Scanless volumetric imaging by selective access multifocal multiphoton microscopy.


ABSTRACT: Simultaneous, high-resolution imaging across a large number of synaptic and dendritic sites is critical for understanding how neurons receive and integrate signals. Yet, functional imaging that targets a large number of submicrometer-sized synaptic and dendritic locations poses significant technical challenges. We demonstrate a new parallelized approach to address such questions, increasing the signal-to-noise ratio by an order of magnitude compared to previous approaches. This selective access multifocal multiphoton microscopy uses a spatial light modulator to generate multifocal excitation in three dimensions (3D) and a Gaussian-Laguerre phase plate to simultaneously detect fluorescence from these spots throughout the volume. We test the performance of this system by simultaneously recording Ca2+ dynamics from cultured neurons at 98-118 locations distributed throughout a 3D volume. This is the first demonstration of 3D imaging in a "single shot" and permits synchronized monitoring of signal propagation across multiple different dendrites.
