Abstract
We present a generic wide-field optical sectioning scheme, photobleaching imprinting microscopy (PIM), for depth-resolved cross-sectional fluorescence imaging. Wide-field PIM works by extracting a nonlinear component that depends on the excitation fluence as a result of photobleaching-induced fluorescence decay. Since no specific fluorescent dyes or illumination modules are required, wide-field PIM is easy to implement on a standard microscope. Moreover, wide-field PIM is superior to deconvolution microscopy in removing background fluorescence, yielding a six-fold improvement in image contrast.
