In vivo super-resolution retinal imaging through virtually structured detection.

abstract：:We introduce a needle probe based on photoacoustics (PA) to extend the scope of optical needle methods in guiding biopsies. Pulsed light is coupled to an optical fiber in a needle to be inserted in tissue, and PA signals are detected using an ultrasound imager used for needle guidance. This PA needle samples large vol...
