Wavefront correction plays significant role in some fields like astronomical observation, laser processing and medical imaging, etc. Liquid crystal spatial light modulator ( LC SLM) is an ideal device for high-resolution wavefront correction because of its low cost, low consumption, large number of pixels and independent programming control of each unit. It is researched experimentally that LC SLM is used as a wavefront correction device and corrects arbitrary wavefront aberration. Wavefront correction is performed based on phase conjugation and periodic phase modulation with modulo-2π. The experimental results show that the PV value of the irregular wavefront aberration is 1.56λ, RMS value is 0.25 and Strehl ratio is 0.08 before correction, but the PV value of the residual aberration is reduced to 0.26λ, RMS value is 0.02 and Strehl ratio is increased to 0.97 which is approximated diffraction limit after correction. It is proved to be feasible and effective that LC SLM is used to the high-precision and high-resolution wavefront correction.

Aim: Abnormal tau accumulation plays an important role in tauopathy diseases such as Alzheimers disease and Frontotemporal dementia. There is a need for high-resolution imaging of tau deposits at the whole brain scale in animal models. Here, we demonstrate non-invasive whole brain imaging of tau-targeted PBB5 probe in P301L model of 4-repeat tau at 130 μm resolution using volumetric multi-spectral optoacoustic tomography (vMSOT). Methods: The binding properties of a panel of imaging probes to amyloid-β, 4-repeat K18 tau fibrils were assessed by using Thioflavin T assay and surface plasmon resonance assay. We identified the probe PBB5 suitable for vMSOT tau imaging. The imaging performance was first evaluated using postmortem human brain tissues from patients with Alzheimers disease, corticobasal degeneration and progressive supranuclear palsy. Concurrent vMSOT and epi-fluorescence imaging of in vivo PBB5 targeting (i.v.) was performed in P301L and non-transgenic littermate mice. Ex vivo measurements on excised brains along with multiphoton microscopy and immunofluorescence staining of tissue sections were performed for validation. The spectrally-unmixed vMSOT data was registered with MRI atlas for volume-of-interest analysis. Results: PBB5 showed specific binding to recombinant K18 tau fibrils, AD brain tissue homogenate by competitive binding against [11C]PBB3 and to tau deposits (AT-8 positive) in post-mortem corticobasal degeneration and progressive supranuclear palsy brain. i.v. administration of PBB5 in P301L mice led to retention of the probe in tau-laden cortex and hippocampus in contrast to wild-type animals, as also confirmed by ex vivo vMSOT, epi-fluorescence and multiphoton microscopy results. Conclusion: vMSOT with PBB5 facilitates novel 3D whole brain imaging of tau in P301L animal model with high-resolution for future mechanistic studies and monitoring of putative treatments targeting tau.

Multiphoton (MP) microscopy is a well-established method for the non-invasive imaging of biological tissues. However, its optical sectioning capabilities are reduced due to specimen-induced aberrations. Both the manipulation of spherical aberration (SA) and the use of axicons have been reported to be useful techniques to bypass this limitation. We propose the combination of SA patterns and variable axicons to further improve the quality of MP microscopy images. This approach provides enhanced images at different depth locations whose quality is better than those corresponding to the use of SA or axicons separately. Thus, the procedure proposed herein facilitates the visualization of details and increases the depth observable at high resolution.
