• Abstract

Optical microscopy has been instrumental in studies of the structure and function of biological systems for centuries.  However, many questions at the forefront of molecular, cellular, and neurobiology remain beyond its current capabilities.

Here I will summarize our efforts to extend these capabilities as follows: fluorescence imaging beyond the diffraction limit with photoactivated localization microscopy, deep tissue imaging with two-photon adaptive optics, and high speed volumetric cellular imaging with Bessel beam plane illumination microscopy.
