light sheet fluorescence microscopy

Also known as single plane illumination microscopy (SPIM), this process was designed for imaging of sensitive samples and fast biological processes in vivo. In this method, a light sheet illuminates the specimen from the side in a single focal plane and is detected using a second objective oriented perpendicularly to the light sheet. By focusing light sheets onto a confined volume of the sample through cylindrical optics, optical sectioning and reduced phototoxicity are achieved.
