A promising emerging bioimaging technique is oblique plane light-sheet microscopy (OPM), which allows volumetric imaging using a single scan mirror but suffers from significant losses due to its complex optical path. To enhance the light-collection efficiency of OPMs, we propose to integrate optical metasurfaces into the optical path of an OPM. Metasurfaces utilize sub-wavelength nanostructures for manipulation of electromagnetic fields and can be produced with CMOS-compatible technology. By implementing tailored metagrating designs, we aim to reduce losses in single-objective light-sheet setups.
