- Title
Bessel beams for light relief.
- Authors
Hare, Peter
- Abstract
The article discusses the use of Bessel beam plane-illumination microscopy to address the damaging effects of prolonged exposure to light. It refers to Bessel beams as narrow nondiffracting light rays which is surrounded by concentric rings of less intense light that eliminates the phototoxicity, photobleaching and out-of-focus haze caused by weaker peripheral light. It suggests that the combination of the structured illumination approach and Bessel beam with techniques used in super-resolution microscopy makes better resolution within reach.
