Basically, it shines a thin sheet of laser light on a slice of your sample, and high speed cameras take pictures of the glowing parts from the side. Using the light sheet method means less damage to ...

The light sheet geometry illuminates only the parts of the sample you are imaging, greatly reducing photobleaching and phototoxicity. You'll get a real-life view of your samples without the adverse ...

It is also especially good for sensitive live samples because the intensity of the light is low comparing to other fluorescence imaging technics. Method is only suitable for fluorescence imaging.

LightSheet microscopy is a fluorescence technique that projects a thin ‘sheet’ of excitation light perpendicular to the direction of observation. This type of a system uses cylindrical optics to focus ...
