Abstract
Soil is a highly scattering media that inhibits imaging of plant-microbial-mineral interactions that are essential to plant health and soil carbon sequestration. In this work, we seek to overcome the fundamental challenges of imaging through soil minerals by developing a custom wavefront sensor-less adaptive optics (AO) system for a multiphoton microscope. We are using a combined experimental and modeling approach, characterizing mineral optical characteristics with scatterometry, modeling the wavefront distortion and the image quality degradation after imaging through the soil medium, simulating the image quality improvement with AO correction, and experimentally testing our models with a stand-alone AO testbed.
