| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Images inside living cells and tissues always degrade because the light used for the imaging is disturbed by biological structures. This project aims at applying adaptive optics (AO) to microscopy to correct the disturbance of light and performing high-resolution deep live imaging during stem-cell formation of the moss Physcomitrella patens. We revealed the disturbance of light that goes through living plant cells by point spread function analysis, mathematical calculation, and simulation. This is essential to establish high-accuracy AO system. In addition, we increased the sensitivity of wavefront sensing around 25 folds, and also obtained the wavefront information by image correlation. These allowed us to perform wavefront sensing and drive AO in most place in living cells and to reduce damages caused by excitation light. Applying above achievements to our AO microscope, we successfully perform fine live imaging inside living plant cells.
