Have you ever tried phase masking? It looks like a real positive alternate remedy to me. As for who the makers are is a mystery but you can bet the Rothschild’s have an ultrasonic hand in the profits.

When combined with the company’s expanded library of multi-modality interchangeable phase masks, the SPINDLE2 captures 3D information in single images—without scanning—with depth of field up to 30x conventional systems and up to 10x improved resolution. The phase masks—optimized to customer requirements based on depth range, emission wavelength and more—enable a deeper layer of nanoscale visualization and data capture, from single molecule to whole cell, to accelerate the pace of disease discovery and therapeutics development in both live and fixed cell studies. The phase masks also are compatible with a range of optics (polarizers, multi-FOV lenses), providing additional flexibility in experimentation.
