Read More The Best of Both Worlds: Combining Light Sheet and Confocal Microscopy
Abstract: Living cells and organisms often suffer from the high light intensities that are used in conventional imaging. Light sheet microscopy reduces phototoxic effects and bleaching, by only illuminating a specimen in a single plane at a time whilst the signal is detected in a perpendicular direction. In combination with high-speed cameras for image acquisition,…
