We developed a Bessel-beam photoacoustic microscopical simulation platform by using the k-Wave: MATLAB toolbox. The simulation platform uses the ring slit method to generate Bessel beam. By controlling the inner and outer radius of the ring slit, the depth-of-field (DoF) of Bessel beam can be controlled. And the large volumetric image is obtained by point scanning. The simulation experiments on blood vessels were carried out to demonstrate the feasibility of the simulation platform. This simulation work can be used as an auxiliary tool for the research of Bessel-beam photoacoustic microscopy.
