Abstract

The ability of confocal laser-scanning microscopy to collect stacks of optical sections has made three-dimensional (volumetric) imaging a standard analytical tool in experimental cell and developmental biology. Parallel developments in deconvolution techniques, especially as computational power increased and costs decreased, offered tools to make three-dimensional (3D) imaging from widefield as well as confocal microscopes possible. Despite the high spatial resolution provided by these 3D methods, they all suffer from a common limitation: light scattering in the specimen limits them to operating in the outer few hundred micrometers of the specimen.
