Observation results of fluorescent beads of 3-μm diameter in a spherical-crown-shaped transparent epoxy resin (radius of 6 mm). (a) Photograph of the spherical-crown-shaped transparent epoxy resin. (b) The excitation light intensity is changed with respect to the observation depth. (ce) xz-projected images for an optical depth of 0 μm to 2,000 μm from the scans performed with wavefront modulation using the ACMSS, with wavefront modulation using the SACM, and without wavefront modulation, respectively. (f)–(h) xz image of the observed bead at 35-μm optical depth when a TPM scan is performed with wavefront modulation using ACMSS, with wavefront modulation using SACM, and without wavefront modulation, respectively. (i)–(k) xz image of the observed bead at 1,948-μm optical depth. (l) Quantitative evaluation of the improvement in fluorescence intensity from the fluorescent beads. The scale bars indicate 100 μm in (ce) and 20 μm in (fk).
