  • Patent number: 11156819
    Abstract: A method for scanning along a substantially straight line (3D line) lying at an arbitrary direction in a 3D space with a given speed uses a 3D laser scanning microscope having a first pair of acousto-optic deflectors deflecting a laser beam in the x-z plane (x axis deflectors) and a second pair of acousto-optic deflectors deflecting the laser beam in the y-z plane (y axis deflectors) for focusing the laser beam in 3D. Further, a method for scanning a region of interest uses a 3D laser scanning microscope having acousto-optic deflectors for focusing a laser beam within a 3D space defined by an optical axis (Z) of the microscope and X, Y axes that are perpendicular to the optical axis and to each other.

  • Patent number: 10168598
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for scanning along a continuous scanning trajectory with a scanner system (100) comprising a first pair of acousto-optic deflectors (10) for deflecting a focal spot of an electromagnetic beam generated by a consecutive lens system (200) defining an optical axis (z) in an x-z plane, and a second pair of acousto-optic deflectors (20) for deflecting the focal spot in a y-z plane being substantially perpendicular to the x-z plane, characterized by changing the acoustic frequency sweeps with time continuously in the deflectors (12, 12?) of the first pair of deflectors (10) and in the deflectors (22, 22?) of the second pair of deflectors (20) so as to cause the focal spot to move continuously along the scanning trajectory.
