Abstract
Apparatus and method for performing depth sectioned fluorescence imaging of a turbid sample including a fluorescent turbid medium, uses an apparatus for quantitative modulated fluorescence imaging, the apparatus including projection optics with a first optical axis, to expose the turbid sample to a periodic pattern of excitation radiation to provide depth-resolved discrimination of fluorescent structures within the turbid medium; an image capture module, including a second optical axis and a detection beam path, to receive a data image from the sample; and a signal processor to transform the data image from the sample, spatially filter the transformed data image from the sample, and reconstruct the filtered, transformed data image from the sample.
