| contents | We demonstrate imaging $^{171}$Yb single atoms in clock-magic tweezers of 759.4 nm wavelength, with above 99.9% fidelity and survival. We use alternating dual-tone narrowline imaging for more efficient three-dimensional cooling in tweezers, allowing several-millisecond imaging in 200 $μ$K trap depth, which is half of typical depth used for imaging in clock-magic tweezers. Accordingly, even without repumping, imaging survival is still close to 99.9% with the high fidelity, which can enable high performance nondestructive qubit measurements based on metastable shelving. Moreover, our simulation predicts that more optimal configuration could further reduce the trap depth, as improving the imaging performance. This imaging capability in shallow traps opens high performance imaging for more general trap wavelength, and lays the foundation for large scale systems over 1,000 qubits, and highly repeatable tweezer clocks. |
