Light Sheet for Cleared Tissue
Applied Scientific Instrumentation Inc.Request Info
The ct-dSPIM is a flexible and easy-to-use light sheet microscopy configuration optimized for imaging large cleared tissue samples. The sample is mounted on a motorized XYZ stage and imaged via stage scanning. Two multi-immersion or other objective lenses are held in an upright “V” geometry for light sheet illumination and detection. Acquisition speed is usually camera-limited.
ASI manufactures the optomechanical elements, including the motorized stages and 2D galvos for creating and moving the light sheet. Lasers and sCMOS cameras are required to complete the system; users can procure these themselves, use the services of various system integrators selling ASI SPIM systems, or purchase them via ASI. The ct-dSPIM has been successfully used to image various cleared tissue samples including whole mouse brains and slices of cleared tissue.
