Confocal line detection has been shown to improve contrast in light-sheet-based microscopy especially when illuminating the sample by Bessel beams. Besides their self-reconstructing capability, the stability in propagation direction of Bessel beams allows to block the unwanted emission light from the Bessel beam's ring system. However, due to phase aberrations induced especially at the border of the specimen, Bessel beams may not propagate along lines parallel to the slit detector. Here we…

Light-sheet microscopy in a glass capillary: feedback holographic control for illumination beam correction.
TLDR
This work analyzes the deflection of illuminating Bessel beams at the capillary by k-spectral shifting, and correct for it by a beam deflector to demonstrate 3D line-confocal imaging inside a glass capillary over an axial range of ±400  μm.
Bessel-beam illumination in dual-axis confocal microscopy mitigates resolution degradation caused by refractive heterogeneities.
TLDR
Both Gaussian and Bessel illumination are utilized in a point-scanned DAC microscope to quantify the resultant degradation in resolution when imaging within heterogeneous optical phantoms and fresh tissues.

Separation of ballistic and diffusive fluorescence photons in confocal Light-Sheet Microscopy of Arabidopsis roots
TLDR
This work demonstrates that ballistic and diffusive fluorescence photons can be separated by analyzing the image spectra in each plane without a priori knowledge and introduces a theoretical model allowing to extract typical scattering parameters of the biological material.
Characterizing the beam steering and distortion of Gaussian and Bessel beams focused in tissues with microscopic heterogeneities.
TLDR
The results indicate that low-NA Bessel beams exhibit reduced beam-steering artifacts and distortions compared to Gaussian beams, and are therefore potentially useful for microscopy applications in which pointing accuracy and beam quality are critical, such as dual-axis confocal (DAC) microscopy.
Adaptive optical microscopy: the ongoing quest for a perfect image
TLDR
How technologies such as deformable mirrors and spatial light modulators, which compensate for aberrations by locally controlling the wavefront of a light wave, are now improving the performance of multiphoton, confocal, widefield and super-resolution microscopes are reviewed.

TLDR
A technique for direct observation and characterization of optical guiding of microparticles in a tight focusing system and quantitative measurement of particle's motion was readily accessed by measuring the particle's position and velocity during the transport process.

The beam's propagation stability along one straight line enables the use of a confocal line principle, resulting in a significant increase in image contrast, while the axial resolution could be improved by nearly 100% relative to the standard light-sheet techniques using scanned Gaussian beams.
