We present a single-shot adaptation of Optical Projection Tomography (OPT) for high-speed volumetric snapshot imaging of dynamic mesoscopic samples. Conventional OPT has been applied to in vivo imaging of animal models such as D. rerio but the sequential acquisition of projection images required for volumetric reconstruction typically requires samples to be immobilised during the acquisition of an OPT data set. We present a proof-of-principle system capable of single-shot imaging of a 1 mm diameter volume, demonstrating camera-limited rates of up to 62.5 volumes/second, which we have applied to 3D imaging of a freely-swimming zebrafish embryo. This is achieved by recording 8 projection views simultaneously on 4 low-cost CMOS cameras. With no stage required to rotate the sample, this single-shot OPT system can be implemented with a component cost of under {pound}5,000. The system design can be adapted to different sized fields of view and may be applied to a broad range of dynamic samples, including fluid dynamics.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
