Abstract
Systems and methods for fluorescent microscopy are disclosed where fluorophores can be excited over an excitation band to emit light in a wide emission band. Simultaneous acquisition of multiple planes in the sample can be achieved using a modified form of confocal microscopy. In one implementation, an objective employs a lens having optics exhibiting a large degree of axial chromatic aberration, such that emissions from different axially spaced focal planes are encoded by wavelength. Advantageously, simultaneous acquisition of multiple focal planes encoded by color can be processed to obtain efficient and rapid three-dimensional imaging of a sample.
