  We demonstrate the first planar Airy light-sheet microscope. Fluorescence
light-sheet microscopy has become the method of choice to study large
biological samples with cellular or sub-cellular resolution. The
propagation-invariant Airy beam enables a ten-fold increase in field-of-view
with single-photon excitation; however, the characteristic asymmetry of the
light-sheet limits its potential for multi-photon excitation. Here we show how
a planar light-sheet can be formed from the curved propagation-invariant Airy
beam. The resulting symmetric light sheet excites two-photon fluorescence
uniformly across an extended field-of-view without the need for deconvolution.
We demonstrate the method for rapid two-photon imaging of large volumes of
neuronal tissue.
