Popis: Non-linear excitation microscopy offers superior in-vivo imaging but faces challenges in deep tissue. High numerical aperture beams suffer spherical aberrations, while tissue scattering impacts image quality. To address this, we propose implantable microlenses for precise focusing below the skin in lab animals. By using low numerical aperture lasers, we avoid spherical aberrations induced by high NA objectives. Our study presents various microlens designs differing in size, shape, and fabrication methods, all on glass or organo-hybrid ceramic substrates. This approach shows promise for enhancing deep tissue imaging, facilitating better understanding of biological processes in vivo.
