Abstract
Two-photon fluorescence microscopy has been widely applied to three-dimensional imaging of complex samples. Remote focusing by controlling the divergence of excitation light is a common approach to scanning the focus axially. However, microscope objectives induce distortion to the wavefront of non-collimated excitation beams, leading to degraded imaging quality away from the natural focal plane. We characterized the aberrations introduced by remote focusing and used adaptive optics to correct the remote-focusing-induced aberrations. Diffraction-limited focal quality over up to 800-µm axial range can be maintained. We further demonstrated aberration-free remote focusing for in vivo imaging of neurites and synapses in mouse brain.
