well as machine vision in manufacturing processes. In both cases, one obtains two-dimensional image series of_x000D_
three-dimensional objects. Accessing real-time information outside a two-dimensional (X-Y) plane, i.e., in X,_x000D_
Y, and Z dimensions, is a challenge. Typical confocal scanning microscopes address the problem of_x000D_
visualization in 3 dimensions. However, such microscopes are expensive (of order $500,000) and, nevertheless,_x000D_
have limited capabilities for processes that involve high-speed out-of-plane motions._x000D_
Accessing real-time information in three dimensions has been a challenge that our commercial partner, Optikon_x000D_
Corporation Ltd., is keen to resolve. To solve this problem, the proposed collaborative work aims to establish a_x000D_
procedure that uses known components - a scientific CMOS camera (sCMOS), along with high speed focusing_x000D_
optics - to get 3D information without requiring true confocal scanning. The end point of this proposal would_x000D_
be a Technical Application Note that enables future purchasers of sCMOS cameras from the commercial_x000D_
partner, Optikon Corporation Ltd., to have access to clear guidelines on how to integrate high-speed focusing_x000D_
optics with a sCMOS camera in order to be able to visualize multiple regions in X,Y and Z in real time., program purpose french : High-speed cameras have provided unprecedented ability to look at biological live-cell processes in real time as_x000D_
