Abstract
We propose a new design for a multi-color, parallelized STED microscope, capable of multiple beam scanning. Our design is based on a common programmable diffracting optical element used to split, shape, and align both the excitation beams as well as the depletion beams, and a CCD camera to image florescence from all scanning beams simultaneously. Here we describe a prototype implementation of a two beam STED based on our novel design, which could easily be generalized to multi-color STED, with up to 100 parallel scanning beams given enough laser power, and high rate STED imaging with the use of a high-speed response multianode photomultiplier detector.
