Abstract: | We demonstrate the first, to our knowledge, integration of stimulated emission depletion (STED) with selective plane illumination microscopy (SPIM). Using this method, we were able to obtain up to 60% improvements in axial resolution with lateral resolution enhancements in control samples and zebrafish embryos. The integrated STED-SPIM method combines the advantages of SPIM with the resolution enhancement of STED, and thus provides a method for fast, high-resolution imaging with >100 μm deep penetration into biological tissue. |
