Description

We introduce a compact attachment for microscope objectives that allows for the conversion of conventional fluorescence microscopes into Airy light-sheet microscopes. The attachment includes a one-dimensional Airy beam generator, which comprises a gradient-index collimator and a 3D nano-printed cubic phase-plate, realized through two-photon polymerization 3D nano-printing and a two-step writing process that guarantees an optical-quality surface for the phase plate. The micro-optical unit is affixed to a mechanical holder equipped with micro-stages, thereby facilitating the unit's integration into commercial microscopes. The implementation and imaging performance of this system and its fundamental imaging characteristics are discussed, with findings based on diverse samples.
