Abstract

In a first SCAPE imaging system, a Powell lens () is used to expand light from a light source () into a sheet of illumination light. An optical system () sweeps the sheet of illumination light through a sample (), and forms an image at a tilted intermediate image plane () from detected return light. A camera () captures images of the intermediate image plane. In a second SCAPE imaging system, an optical system () sweeps the sheet of illumination light through a sample (), and forms an image at a tilted intermediate image plane () from detected return light. A camera () captures images of the intermediate image plane. The detection optics are deliberately misaligned with respect to a true alignment position so that a significant portion of light that would be lost at the true alignment position will arrive at the camera.
