Paper Abstract
We present a simple and robust way to reject out-of-focus background when performing deep two-photon excited
fluorescence (TPEF) imaging in thick tissue. The technique is based on the use of a deformable mirror (DM)
to introduce illumination aberrations that preferentially degrade TPEF signal while leaving TPEF background
relatively unchanged. A subtraction of aberrated from unaberrated images leads to background rejection. We
present a heuristic description of our technique, which we corroborate with experiment. Images of a labeled
mouse olfactory bulb are compared with standard TPEF microscopy images, demonstrating significant out of
focus TPEF background rejection with our technique. Finally we improve our technique by developing a faster
aberration modulation mechanism that performs background subtraction line by line rather than frame by
frame. In this manner, the overall image acquisition rate of our technique is the same as that of a standard
TPEF microscope.
