Abstract
A system and method for adaptive illumination, the imaging system comprising an excitation source having a modulator, which generates a pulse intensity pattern having a first wavelength when the excitation source receives a modulation pattern. The modulation pattern is a data sequence of a structural image of a sample. An amplifier of the imaging system is configured to receive and amplify the pulse intensity pattern from the modulator. A frequency shift mechanism of the imaging system shifts the first wavelength of the pulse intensity pattern to a second wavelength. A laser scanning microscope of the imaging system receives the pulse intensity pattern having the second wavelength.
