Bundle has shorter depth of focus, causes imaging resolution only to keep consistent (generally less than 100 microns) in smaller depth region.
Although the bessel beam that cone prism produces has bigger depth of focus, but light beam secondary lobe has had a strong impact on resolution and figure picture element
Amount.The thermal relaxation effect of generation is excited, it is possible to weaken bessel beam to a certain extent by the continuous light of short time interval
The impact of secondary lobe.But, light beam secondary lobe invalid in the method is by large losses light energy, and repeatedly laser irradiation significantly prolongs
Grow imaging time, the photic damage of tissue can have been caused simultaneously.Additionally, the generation of short interval exciting light typically requires two laser
Device, adds complexity and the cost of imaging system.
