The microscope uses a combination of hardware-based and software-based adaptive optics to reconstruct the object image: ScienceDaily

[ad_1] Non-invasive microscopic techniques such as optical coherence microscopy and two-photon microscopy are commonly used for in vivo imaging of living tissues. When light passes through turbid materials such as biological tissues, two types of light are generated: ballistic photons and multiplied scattered photons. Ballistic photons travel directly through the …
