Abstract

Spatial Light Modulators (SLMs) can emulate the classic microscopy techniques, including differential interference (DIC) contrast and (spiral) phase contrast. Their programmability entails the benefit of flexibility or the option to multiplex images, for single-shot quantitative imaging or for simultaneous multi-plane imaging (depth-of-field multiplexing). We report the development of a microscope sharing many of the previously demonstrated capabilities, within a holographic implementation of a stereo microscope. Furthermore, we use the SLM to combine stereo microscopy with a refocusing filter and with a darkfield filter. The instrument is built around a custom inverted microscope and equipped with an SLM which gives various imaging modes laterally displaced on the same camera chip. In addition, there is a wide angle camera for visualisation of a larger region of the sample.

The configuration of our SLM microscope. Shown at 45° is the z-axis with the inverted microscope and illumination. The polarising beamsplitter is used so that the vertical polarisation of the light goes through the intermediate image iris and on to the SLM, where the Fourier filter is displayed. There is then a 10nm bandpass filter so that dispersion is kept to a minimum in the sample images recorded by the camera. The horizontally polarised light forms the full image of the sample on the wide angle camera. Inset shows a 3D drawing of the system at a scale of approximately 10 : 1.

Illustrative intensity distributions of a 5μm silica particle in water. The particle is stuck to the coverslip and is moved through the focus of the microscope. A series of images were recorded at 0.5μm spacing in the axial direction, then four intensity isosurfaces were interpolated from the data (shown in shades of red). In the x − y plane of each plot is an illustrative phase hologram used to Fourier filter the image. A darkfield filter has been used in (a), an annulus filter has been used in (b) and a cubic filter has been used in (c). The annular filter extends the depth of field of the imaging system. The cubic filter also extends the depth of field but in addition introduces a curved intensity profile. All these point spread functions were introduced by the SLM.

Shown here are results from combining the Fourier filters as described in the text while imaging three 5μm silica spheres suspended in optical adhesive. (a) – (c) Shows individual phase patterns for three imaging modes, namely, double-helix point spread function, defocus and darkfield, respectively. Aberration correction has been incorporated with these filters and each also includes a grating to diffract the image. The greyscale corresponds to 0 − 2π phase changes. (d) The SLM display, showing the combined filter as described by Equation 2. (e) The resulting image detected by the camera. We extract the subregions of the image indicated, each 220 × 220 pixels. The subregions correspond to each filter; top left: double helix, bottom left: defocus, right: darkfield, centre: undiffracted zero order image.

(a) A darkfield image of a dry sample of 200nm diameter gold particles stuck to a coverslip. (b) and (c) Images of a two photon polymerised star shape in water. Image (b) has had no aberration correction, while (c) has had aberration correction. (d) is a cross section throughout the point spread function of the microscope, obtained by imaging a 200nm gold particle in darkfield. Aberration correction is seen to improve contrast by 30%. The insets in (d) show contrast enhanced lateral point spread functions where (e) is aberration corrected and (f) uncorrected. A horizontal line indicates the cross sections in (d).

3D position coordinates can be obtained using the software’s particle tracking capabilities. (a) An image of the SLM display where the greyscale represents 0 − 2π phase change. Two apertures can be seen corresponding to the two views of the sample, each with a different grating so that the images from these angles don’t overlap in the image plane. (b) and (c) The different images extracted from an image recorded on the CMOS camera. The images are of the same object, 2μm polystyrene spheres undergoing Brownian motion in water. (d) Stereo visualisation of particle positions. The images (b) and (c) are colour coded and overlapped. With 3D stereo glasses, the user can visualise the scene with depth perception. Images (e) and (f) are of the same cheek epithelial cell nucleus as viewed with the stereo microscope. Viewing the sample from two directions affords additional geometric information about the cell structure.

Recorded images of a 5μm silica bead fixed in position on a microscope slide. We illuminated the bead with stereo illumination, so that the bead translates as we adjust the focus of the microscope objective over a 35μm range. We diffract the left and right views to different positions on the camera then extract, colour and overlap the images. (a) The SLM display along with stereo images as the bead goes through the focus of the microscope. (b) the SLM display used to refocus the bead as we change the focus of the objective lens. The refocusing does not change the position of the bead. A different holographic lens is needed for each focal position, shown is an example of the lens used at the 10μm position. (c) Darkfield stereo images. (d) Darkfield stereo with focus correction.

Measurement of the accuracy of z position measurement as a function of distance from the focal plane. The error is calculated from measuring the standard deviation of a series of position measurements of a 5μm silica particle stuck on the coverslip. The improvement is due to the increased contrast brought about by keeping the particle in focus.
