Light sheet microscopy

Our 2 light sheet microscopes are applied for fast imaging of large volume tissue and organ samples after clearing. We also offer conditions for long-term imaging of live small samples.

Some applications

A list of potential applications is shown below (click here).

  • selective plane illumination for 3 dimensional imaging of large samples
  • multiview acquisition with different rotation angles
  • multicolor fluorescence imaging (blue/green/red/far-red dyes) of cleared samples like spheroids, tissue and organs, or transparent specimen like Zebrafish embryos or Drosophila larvae
  • long-term and short-term live imaging
