Observing micro-organisms with depth-resolving capability is important in optical microscopy for biomedical sciences and industries. We demonstrate the fabrication and use of a two-photon polymerized micro-axicon lens that generates a self-reconstructing pencil-like Bessel beam for light-sheet fluor...
