AO modal optimization in a live, beating zebrafish heart (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bourgenot, C., Taylor, J. M., Saunter, C. D., Girkin, J. M., & Love, G. D. (2013, June). AO modal optimization in a live, beating zebrafish heart. Presented at Imaging and Applied Optics Postdeadline, Arlington, Virginia, United States

We report on the combinated use of heart synchronization and wavefront sensorless modal AO to enable significant improvement in image quality of a live transgenic zebrafish embryo heart, imaged with a light sheet microscope.

Light sheet adaptive optics microscope for 3D live imaging (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bourgenot, C., Taylor, J., Saunter, C., Girkin, J., & Love, G. (2013, February). Light sheet adaptive optics microscope for 3D live imaging. Presented at Three-Dimensional and Multidimensional Microscopy: Image Acquisition and Processing XX, San Francisco, California, USA

We report on the incorporation of adaptive optics (AO) into the imaging arm of a selective plane illumination microscope (SPIM). SPIM has recently emerged as an important tool for life science research due to its ability to deliver high-speed, optica...

Adaptive optical methods for in vivo imaging in developing Zebra fish (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Girkin, J., Taylor, J., Bourgenot, C., Saunter, C., & Love, G. (2012, December). Adaptive optical methods for in vivo imaging in developing Zebra fish. Presented at 2012 International Symposium on Optomechatronic Technologies (ISOT 2012), Paris

The humble Zebra fish is rapidly establishing itself as the model of choice for a wide range of biological investigations, in particular at the developing embryo stage. Single Plane Illumination Microscopy (SPIM) has already been shown to be a very p... Read More about Adaptive optical methods for in vivo imaging in developing Zebra fish.

Closed loop adaptive optics with a laser guide star for biological light microscopy (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Saunter, C. D., Bourgenot, C., Girkin, J. M., & Love, G. D. (2012, January). Closed loop adaptive optics with a laser guide star for biological light microscopy. Presented at MEMS Adaptive Optics VI, San Francisco, CA

We report on the development of a widefield microscope that achieves adaptive optics correction through the use of a wavefront sensor observing an artificial laser guide star induced within the sample. By generating this guide star at arbitrary posit... Read More about Closed loop adaptive optics with a laser guide star for biological light microscopy.

Wide field adaptive optics microscopy using both closed loop correction and image sharpness optimization (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bourgenot, C., Love, G. D., Saunter, C. D., & Girkin, J. M. (2011, July). Wide field adaptive optics microscopy using both closed loop correction and image sharpness optimization. Presented at Imaging and Applied Optics, Toronto, Canada

We report on results from a wide field microscope fitted with adaptive optics. We describe results based on both image optimization (wavefront sensorless adaptive optics) and full closed loop correction.

Adaptive optics for wide-field microscopy (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bourgenot, C., Saunter, C., Girkin, J., & Love, G. (2011, January). Adaptive optics for wide-field microscopy. Presented at Three-Dimensional and Multidimensional Microscopy: Image Acquisition and Processing XVIII, San Francisco, CA

We report on recent developments in the use of adaptive optics (AO) in wide-field microscopy to remove both system and sample induced aberrations. We describe progress on using both a full AO system and image optimization techniques (wavefront sensor... Read More about Adaptive optics for wide-field microscopy.

Heart synchronization for SPIM microscopy of living zebra fish (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Taylor, J., Saunter, C., Chaudhry, B., Henderson, D., Love, G., & Girkin, J. (2011, January). Heart synchronization for SPIM microscopy of living zebra fish. Presented at Three-Dimensional and Multidimensional Microscopy: Image Acquisition and Processing XVIII, San Francisco, CA

We describe work on producing a selective plane illumination microscope for cardiac imaging in zebra fish embryos. The system has a novel synchronization system for imaging oscillating structures (e.g. the heart) and will have adaptive optics for ima...
