Optimized light delivery allows for single shot whole organ optoacoustic imaging. The authors present an optimized illumination concept for volumetric tomography that utilizes 3D printing in combination with custom‐made optical fiber illumination. The new approach showed a clear advantage over conventional, single‐sided illumination strategies by eliminating the need to correct for illumination variances and resulting in enhancement of the effective field of view, greater penetration depth and significant improvements in the overall image quality.
