description Imaging the three-dimensional movement of small organelles in living cells can provide key information for the dynamics of drug delivery and virus transmission in biomedical disciplines. To stably monitor such intracellular motion using microscope, long depth of field along optical axis and accurate three-dimensional tracking are simultaneously required. In the present work, we suggest an extended dual-focus optics microscopy system by combining a bifocal plane imaging scheme and objective lens oscillation, which enables accurate localization for a long axial range. The proposed system exploits high-resolution functionality by concatenating partial calibration result acquired each axial imaging level, maintaining the practical advantages of ratiometric method.
