Abstract
Provided herein are methods, devices, and systems that may improve optical resolution when imaging through a thickness of samples. A method for generating a depth profile of a tissue of a subject may comprise using an optical probe to transmit an excitation light beam from a light source towards a surface of the tissue; using one or more focusing units in the optical probe to simultaneously adjust a depth and a position of a focal point of the excitation light beam along a scanning path; detecting at least a subset of the signals generated upon contacting the tissue with the excitation light beam; and using one or more computer processors programmed to process the at least the subset of the signals to generate the depth profile of the tissue.
