Tilt-invariant scanned oblique plane illumination microscopy for large-scale volumetric imaging.

ABSTRACT: This Letter presents the first demonstration of multi-tile stitching for large scale 3D imaging in single objective light-sheet microscopy. We show undistorted 3D imaging spanning complete zebrafish larvae and over 1??mm3 volumes for thick mouse brain sections. We use remote galvo scanning for light-sheet creation and develop a processing pipeline for 3D tiling across different axes. With the improved one photon (1p) tilt-invariant scanned oblique plane illumination (SOPi, /s?p?/) microscope presented here, we demonstrate cellular resolution imaging at depths exceeding 330 ?m in optically scattering mouse brain samples and dendritic imaging in more superficial layers.

Blazed oblique plane microscopy reveals scale-invariant inference of brain-wide population activity.

Project description:Due to the size and opacity of vertebrate brains, it has until now been impossible to simultaneously record neuronal activity at cellular resolution across the entire adult brain. As a result, scientists are forced to choose between cellular-resolution microscopy over limited fields-of-view or whole-brain imaging at coarse-grained resolution. Bridging the gap between these spatial scales of understanding remains a major challenge in neuroscience. Here, we introduce blazed oblique plane microscopy to perform brain-wide recording of neuronal activity at cellular resolution in an adult vertebrate. Contrary to common belief, we find that inferences of neuronal population activity are near-independent of spatial scale: a set of randomly sampled neurons has a comparable predictive power as the same number of coarse-grained macrovoxels. Our work thus links cellular resolution with brain-wide scope, challenges the prevailing view that macroscale methods are generally inferior to microscale techniques and underscores the value of multiscale approaches to studying brain-wide activity.

Tilt (in)variant lateral scan in oblique plane microscopy: a geometrical optics approach.

Project description:Oblique plane microscopy (OPM) is a single objective light-sheet microscopy that performs three dimensional (3D) imaging by axial scan of the generated light-sheet. Recently, multiple techniques for lateral scanning of the generated light-sheet in OPM have emerged. However, their suitability for geometrically distortion free 3D imaging, which essentially requires a constant tilt light-sheet scan, has not been evaluated. In this work, we use a geometrical optics approach and derive analytical relationship for the amount of tilt variance in planar mirror based scanned oblique plane illumination (SOPi) arrangement. We experimentally validate the derived relationship and use it to arrive at an optimized scanner geometry and to understand its associated limitations. We discuss the effects of scanning on optical aberrations and 3D field of view in optimized, tilt invariant, lateral scanning OPM systems. We also provide experimental strategies enabling precise scanner alignment for tilt invariance, as well as an open source platform for rapid design of new oblique light-sheet microscopes.

Mesoscopic oblique plane microscopy with a diffractive light-sheet for large-scale 4D cellular resolution imaging.

Project description:Fundamental understanding of large-scale dynamic connectivity within a living organism requires volumetric imaging over a large field of view (FOV) at biologically relevant speed and resolution. However, most microscopy methods make trade-offs between FOV and axial resolution, making it challenging to observe highly dynamic processes at cellular resolution in 3D across mesoscopic scales (e.g., whole zebrafish larva). To overcome this limitation, we have developed mesoscopic oblique plane microscopy (Meso-OPM) with a diffractive light sheet. By augmenting the illumination angle of the light sheet with a transmission grating, we improved the axial resolution approximately sixfold over existing methods and approximately twofold beyond the diffraction limitation of the primary objective lens. We demonstrated a FOV up to 5.4 mm × 3.3 mm with resolution of 2.5 μm × 3 μm × 6 μm, allowing volumetric imaging of 3D cellular structures with a single scan. Applying Meso-OPM for in vivo imaging of zebrafish larvae, we report here in toto whole-body volumetric recordings of neuronal activity at 2 Hz volume rate and whole-body volumetric recordings of blood flow dynamics at 5 Hz with 3D cellular resolution.

Propagating-path uniformly scanned light sheet excitation microscopy for isotropic volumetric imaging of large specimens.

Project description:We demonstrate a propagating-path uniformly scanned light sheet excitation (PULSE) microscopy based on the oscillation of voice coil motor that can rapidly drive a thin light sheet along its propagation direction. By synchronizing the rolling shutter of a camera with the motion of laser sheet, we can obtain a uniform plane-illuminated image far beyond the confocal range of Gaussian beam. A stable 1.7-μm optical sectioning under a 3.3 mm × 3.3 mm wide field of view (FOV) has been achieved for up to 20 Hz volumetric imaging of large biological specimens. PULSE method transforms the extent of plane illumination from one intrinsically limited by the short confocal range (μm scale) to one defined by the motor oscillation range (mm scale). Compared to the conventional Gaussian light sheet imaging, our method greatly mitigates the compromise of axial resolution and successfully extends the FOV over 100 times. We demonstrate the applications of PULSE method by rapidly imaging cleared mouse spinal cord and live zebrafish larva at isotropic subcellular resolution.

Functional imaging with dynamic quantitative oblique back-illumination microscopy.

Project description:SignificanceQuantitative oblique back-illumination microscopy (qOBM) is a recently developed label-free imaging technique that enables 3D quantitative phase imaging of thick scattering samples with epi-illumination. Here, we propose dynamic qOBM to achieve functional imaging based on subcellular dynamics, potentially indicative of metabolic activity. We show the potential utility of this novel technique by imaging adherent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) grown in bioreactors, which can help address important unmet needs in cell manufacturing for therapeutics.AimWe aim to develop dynamic qOBM and demonstrate its potential for functional imaging based on cellular and subcellular dynamics.ApproachTo obtain functional images with dynamic qOBM, a sample is imaged over a period of time and its temporal signals are analyzed. The dynamic signals display an exponential frequency response that can be analyzed with phasor analysis. Functional images of the dynamic signatures are obtained by mapping the frequency dynamic response to phasor space and color-coding clustered signals.ResultsFunctional imaging with dynamic qOBM provides unique information related to subcellular activity. The functional qOBM images of MSCs not only improve conspicuity of cells in complex environments (e.g., porous micro-carriers) but also reveal two distinct cell populations with different dynamic behavior.ConclusionsIn this work we present a label-free, fast, and scalable functional imaging approach to study and intuitively display cellular and subcellular dynamics. We further show the potential utility of this novel technique to help monitor adherent MSCs grown in bioreactors, which can help achieve quality-by-design of cell products, a significant unmet need in the field of cell therapeutics. This approach also has great potential for dynamic studies of other thick samples, such as organoids.

Phase-gradient microscopy in thick tissue with oblique back-illumination.

Project description:Phase-contrast techniques, such as differential interference contrast microscopy, are widely used to obtain morphological images of unstained biological samples. The transillumination geometry required for these techniques restricts their application to thin samples. We introduce oblique back-illumination microscopy, a method of collecting en face phase-gradient images of thick scattering samples, enabling near-video-rate in vivo phase imaging with a miniaturized probe suitable for endoscopy.

Advancing ovarian folliculometry with selective plane illumination microscopy.

Project description:Determination of ovarian status and follicle monitoring are common methods of diagnosing female infertility. We evaluated the suitability of selective plane illumination microscopy (SPIM) for the study of ovarian follicles. The large field of view and fast acquisition speed of our SPIM system enables rendering of volumetric image stacks from intact whole porcine ovarian follicles, clearly visualizing follicular features including follicle volume and average diameter (70??m-2.5?mm), their spherical asymmetry parameters, size of developing cumulus oophorus complexes (40??m-110??m), and follicular wall thickness (90??m-120??m). Follicles at all developmental stages were identified. A distribution of the theca thickness was measured for each follicle, and a relationship between these distributions and the stages of follicular development was discerned. The ability of the system to non-destructively generate sub-cellular resolution 3D images of developing follicles, with excellent image contrast and high throughput capacity compared to conventional histology, suggests that it can be used to monitor follicular development and identify structural abnormalities indicative of ovarian ailments. Accurate folliculometric measurements provided by SPIM images can immensely help the understanding of ovarian physiology and provide important information for the proper management of ovarian diseases.

Selective plane illumination microscopy techniques in developmental biology.

Project description:Selective plane illumination microscopy (SPIM) and other fluorescence microscopy techniques in which a focused sheet of light serves to illuminate the sample have become increasingly popular in developmental studies. Fluorescence light-sheet microscopy bridges the gap in image quality between fluorescence stereomicroscopy and high-resolution imaging of fixed tissue sections. In addition, high depth penetration, low bleaching and high acquisition speeds make light-sheet microscopy ideally suited for extended time-lapse experiments in live embryos. This review compares the benefits and challenges of light-sheet microscopy with established fluorescence microscopy techniques such as confocal microscopy and discusses the different implementations and applications of this easily adaptable technology.

A versatile oblique plane microscope for large-scale and high-resolution imaging of subcellular dynamics.

Project description:We present an oblique plane microscope (OPM) that uses a bespoke glass-tipped tertiary objective to improve the resolution, field of view, and usability over previous variants. Owing to its high numerical aperture optics, this microscope achieves lateral and axial resolutions that are comparable to the square illumination mode of lattice light-sheet microscopy, but in a user friendly and versatile format. Given this performance, we demonstrate high-resolution imaging of clathrin-mediated endocytosis, vimentin, the endoplasmic reticulum, membrane dynamics, and Natural Killer-mediated cytotoxicity. Furthermore, we image biological phenomena that would be otherwise challenging or impossible to perform in a traditional light-sheet microscope geometry, including cell migration through confined spaces within a microfluidic device, subcellular photoactivation of Rac1, diffusion of cytoplasmic rheological tracers at a volumetric rate of 14 Hz, and large field of view imaging of neurons, developing embryos, and centimeter-scale tissue sections.

Learned adaptive multiphoton illumination microscopy for large-scale immune response imaging.

Project description:Multiphoton microscopy is a powerful technique for deep in vivo imaging in scattering samples. However, it requires precise, sample-dependent increases in excitation power with depth in order to generate contrast in scattering tissue, while minimizing photobleaching and phototoxicity. We show here how adaptive imaging can optimize illumination power at each point in a 3D volume as a function of the sample's shape, without the need for specialized fluorescent labeling. Our method relies on training a physics-based machine learning model using cells with identical fluorescent labels imaged in situ. We use this technique for in vivo imaging of immune responses in mouse lymph nodes following vaccination. We achieve visualization of physiologically realistic numbers of antigen-specific T cells (~2 orders of magnitude lower than previous studies), and demonstrate changes in the global organization and motility of dendritic cell networks during the early stages of the immune response. We provide a step-by-step tutorial for implementing this technique using exclusively open-source hardware and software.
