Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for increasing photon collection during imaging with a light-sheet fluorescence microscope. In one example, one or more adaptive optical elements may be positioned in a detection light path between a detection objective and an imaging sensor. A depth of field of the detection objective is adjusted as a function of a thickness of an excitation light-sheet used to illuminate a sample during imaging. As a result, the detection objective captures more fluorescence photons generated by light-sheet excitation.
