Abstract

This chapter discusses the results of the article ‘Diffraction-free light droplets for axially-resolved volume imaging’ published in Scientific Reports 7, 17 (2017). We present non-diffracting light fields generated by the superposition of multiple Bessel beams, that produce an interference pattern along the propagation direction. We then focus our attention on how to use the effective finite depth of focus produced by the interference for fluorescent microscopy and for imaging in turbid media.
