    The depth of field (DoF) was extended 2.8-fold to achieve rapid crystal screening by retrofitting a custom-designed micro-retarder array (µRA) in the optical beam path of a nonlinear optical microscope. The merits of the proposed strategy for DoF enhancement were assessed in applications of second-harmonic generation imaging of protein crystals. It was found that DoF extension increased the number of crystals detected while simultaneously reducing the number of ` z -slices' required for screening. Experimental measurements of the wavelength-dependence of the extended DoF were in excellent agreement with theoretical predictions. These results provide a simple and broadly applicable approach to increase the throughput of existing nonlinear optical imaging methods for protein crystal screening.
