Improvement in image quality via the pseudo confocal effect in multidirectional digital scanned laser light-sheet microscopy

Our TL Onami and DR Kaneshiro (Laboratory for Comprehensive Bioimaging, RIKEN BDR) et al. proposed a new pseudo confocal system that combines multiline scanning for light-sheet illumination combined and simple image construction.  By further combining our method with multidirectional digital scanned laser light-sheet microscopy (mDSLM), we demonstrated improvement of image quality in biological samples.
