Bioimaging with Light-Sheet Microscopy: Ultra Gentle Imaging of Living Samples

In this webinar, we will discuss the benefits of light-sheet fluorescence microscopy as a gentle bio-imaging technique and show how it can be adapted to a variety of samples. Specifically, we will focus on the Luxendo InVi-SPIM with its unique light-sheet geometry, designed for imaging live specimens in high resolution, which until now have only been achieved using confocal microscopy. We will describe our innovative sample mounting technique and how we can use this to image cell lines, developing embryos, whole organisms and much more.

In this webinar, you can expect to learn the advantages of light-sheet fluorescence microscopy and how this technique can be adapted to a multitude of different samples and image these without the phototoxicity that plagues traditional imaging techniques. Expect to see comparisons of light sheet and spinning disk confocal microscopy.

Issues with Current Imaging Systems:

Balancing resolution and speed | Photobeaching | Phototoxicity during long time courses | The ability to image large volumes with sufficient time resolution
