Background:

Rapid acquisition of large imaging volumes at microscopic resolution is crucial for studying dynamic biological processes, particularly neural activity.
Existing methods face limitations in speed, volume, and resolution for observing fast, distributed systems.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate a multifocal microscopy strategy for fast, volumetric, diffraction-limited imaging over large fields of view (FOV) using single-camera exposures.
To demonstrate the system's flexibility and utility in biological applications.

Main Methods:

A multifocal microscopy approach using a custom diffractive optical element and prisms for chromatic correction to image multiple focal depths simultaneously.
Integration into a conventional microscope, adaptable to various objective lenses.
Experimental and numerical validation of the system's performance.

Main Results:

Demonstrated large FOV microscope imaging with resolutions suitable for cellular imaging, covering volumes three orders of magnitude larger than previously reported.
Visualized high-resolution 3D distributed neural networks at volume rates up to 100 Hz using genetically encoded indicators.
Explored applications in blood flow visualization and real-time volumetric rendering.

Conclusions:

Diffraction-based multifocal imaging offers significant advantages for 3D imaging of large-scale biological samples from single exposures.
The technique is highly applicable to functional neural imaging and other fields requiring volumetric imaging capabilities.
