    Figures & Tables(5)
    Schematic diagram of the optical system of a subtractive Bessel LSFM.
    Calculated intensity distributions of (a), (c) the extended Bessel light-sheet beam and (b), (d) the ring-like Bessel light-sheet beam (a), (b) in the y–z plane with x=0 and (c), (d) in the x–z plane with y=0 . (e) The normalized line profiles of the intensity distributions along the central z axis in (c) and (d).
    PSFs of the light-sheet microscopy in the y–z plane. (a) The calculated illumination PSF for the conventional Bessel LSFM with an annular mask characterized by NAmax=0.7 and NAmin=0.68. (b) The detection PSF with NAdet=0.7. (c) The system PSF for the conventional Bessel LSFM. (d) The system PSF for subtractive Bessel LSFM obtained with extended solid Bessel beam with an annular mask characterized by NAmax=0.67 and NAmin=0.65 and a ring-like Bessel beam with an annular mask characterized by NAmax=0.7 and NAmin=0.68. (e) The normalized line profiles of the intensity distributions along the central axis in (c) and (d).
    Simulated images of a sample consisting of 16 points shown in (a) for (b) the conventional Bessel LSFM and (c) the subtractive Bessel LSFM.
    Simulated images of a sample consisting of four parallel lines shown in (a) for (b) the conventional Bessel LSFM and (c) the subtractive Bessel LSFM. (d) The central line profiles of the intensity along the z axis in (a), (b), and (c).
