Dear Editor,
Recent advent of light-sheet fluorescent microscopy (LSFM) has revolutionized three-dimensional biological imaging with high temporal resolution and minimal photodamage,enabling long-term fluorescence imaging of tissues and small organisms [1-2].By combining two-photon fluorescence excitation with LSFM,Truong et al.[3] have created a two-photon digital scanned lightsheet microscope (2P-DSLM),allowing for deep-tissue imaging of highly scattering Drosophila embryos and fast beating hearts of zebrafish.Similar to classical LSFM configurations,a 2P-DSLM uses a low numerical aperture (NA < 0.1) to achieve a long and homogenous illumination.This leads to a thick light sheet and thus reduces axial resolution and image contrast.On the other hand,Betzig and colleagues have used a Bessel beam to generate thin single-photon light sheet that yields superb axial resolution [4].However,the field of view and the penetration depth are limited in such system.
