Multi-plane remote refocussing epifluorescence microscopy to image dynamic Ca2+ events (2019)
Journal Article
Lawton, P., Buckley, C., Saunter, C., Wilson, C., Corbett, A., Salter, P., …Girkin, J. (2019). Multi-plane remote refocussing epifluorescence microscopy to image dynamic Ca2+ events. Biomedical Optics Express, 10(11), 5611-5624. https://doi.org/10.1364/boe.10.005611

Rapid imaging of multiple focal planes without sample movement may be achieved through remote refocusing, where imaging is carried out in a plane conjugate to the sample plane. The technique is ideally suited to studying the endothelial and smooth mu... Read More about Multi-plane remote refocussing epifluorescence microscopy to image dynamic Ca2+ events.
