摘要: Functional two-photon Ca^ 2+-imaging is a versatile tool to study the dynamics of neuronal populations in brain slices and living animals. However, population imaging is typically restricted to a single two-dimensional image plane. By introducing an electrically tunable lens into the excitation path of a two-photon microscope we were able to realize fast axial focus shifts within 15 ms. The maximum axial scan range was 0.7 mm employing a 40x NA0. 8 water immersion objective, plenty for typically required ranges of 0.2–0.3 mm. By …
