Adaptive optics normally concerns the feedback correction of phase aberrations. Such
correction has been of benefit in various optical systems, with applications ranging in scale …

Adaptive optics (AO) methods are widely used in microscopes to improve image quality
through correction of phase aberrations. A range of wavefront-sensorless AO schemes exist …

Microscopy is an essential tool for life sciences. Thanks to the development of confocal and
multiphoton microscopy, scientists are able to obtain high-resolution 3D views of biological …

The resolution and contrast of microscope imaging is often affected by aberrations
introduced by imperfect optical systems and inhomogeneous refractive structures in …

The imaging performance of an optical microscope can be degraded by sample-induced
aberrations. A general strategy to undo the effect of these aberrations is to apply wavefront …

Sample-induced optical aberrations in microscopy are, in general, field dependent, limiting
their correction via pupil adaptive optics (AO) to the center of the available field-of-view …

Most implementations of adaptive optics in microscopes have not employed a wavefront
sensor, but have instead used sensorless aberration correction methods. In these systems …

We describe a wavefront sensor strategy for the implementation of adaptive optics (AO) in
microscope applications involving thick, scattering media. The strategy is based on the …

Adaptive optics can correct for optical aberrations. We developed multi-pupil adaptive optics
(MPAO), which enables simultaneous wavefront correction over a field of view of 450× 450 …
