Abstract

We propose a new method to engineer point spread function (PSF) for 3D single-particle tracking using mica. The imaging system in this method uses a standard wide-field fluorescence microscope; the only difference from the ordinary is using a mica as a substrate to mount the sample instead of the coverslip. This approach would have advantages over easy-toimplement, wide axial range tracking capability, and multiplexity of tracking. We demonstrate 3D single-particle tracking in a homogeneous solution.
