Abstract
We propose a ${{2}}\pi$-double-helix point spread function (${{2}}\pi$-DH-PSF) using the Fresnel zone approach that can rotate ${{2}}\pi$ rad. When 16 Fresnel zones are used, the particles can be tracked in the axial range of 10 µm in a ${{100}} \times$ microscopy imaging system (${\rm{NA}} = {1.4}$, $\lambda = {{514}}\;{\rm{nm}}$). We measured the diffusion coefficient of nanospheres in different concentrations of glycerol with the ${{2}}\pi$-DH-PSF, and the error between the measured results and theoretical value was within 10%, indicating the superior performance of ${{2}}\pi$-DH-PSF in 3D localization imaging of nanoparticles. When combined with the defocus phase, the rotation angle can reach ${{4}}\pi$ rad, four times that of the conventional DH-PSF.
