From: Cancellation of Bessel beam side lobes for high-contrast light sheet microscopy

Fluorescence images in both log (a,b) and linear (c,d) scales of embedded micron-sized beads obtained with a Bessel beam (a,c) and a droplet beam illumination (b,d) in a light sheet microscope. The intensity profiles (e) along the dashed line show a two-fold reduction in the background light given by the droplet illumination as a result of the suppression of the out-of-focus side lobes. Scale bar is 10 µm. (f) Map the intensity ratio between the images obtained with Bessel and droplet illumination.
