We have been developing a fast three-dimensional imaging method, which does not require the movement of the observation plane by using excitation with a Bessel beam and controlling fluorescence signals based on a computer-generated hologram. This method was successfully applied to two-photon excitation microscopy. However, applying this method to one-photon excitation microscopy suffers from the degradation of image contrast and undesired artifacts in acquired images. In this presentation, we will report a new approach to overcome these problems by applying additional control to the Bessel beam.
