  • Patent number: 11867893
    Abstract: Fluorescence microscopy method comprising: illuminating a scattering sample with a coherent excitation light beam having a wavefront with an initial configuration for exciting fluorescent emitters in the scattering sample; acquiring an initial image; selecting target pixels in an area of the initial image; optimising the initial configuration of the wavefront for each target pixel for decreasing the speckle grain size and obtaining a final image; subtracting the initial image from the final image for each target pixel, obtaining an image; fitting the image with a Gaussian function with free center coordinates for each target pixel; generating an image containing a Gaussian distribution centered at the coordinates and intensity, and with a waist equal to an average size S of speckle grain of the scattering sample, for each target pixel; and generating a final image of the sample by summing the images of the target pixels.

  • Patent number: 10905324
    Abstract: Fluorescence microscopy apparatus for the analysis of a fundus of a sample eye, based on the use of an optical equipment configured to generate a Bessel beam inside a sample eye and an objective configured to increase the numerical aperture of an “objective-cornea-lens” assembly by reducing the overall focal length of the fluorescence microscopy apparatus, also allowing a significant increase in spatial resolution compared to conventional microscopy systems.
