Q&A

       PRESENTATION HIGHLIGHTS:

  • [00:00:00] Would expansion methods make LCS usable for subcellular resolution?
  • [00:02:31] Has light-sheet replaced traditional sectioning workflows for some of your users?
  • [00:04:10] Have you had any luck with imaging a cleared sample on the LCS  and then doing a reverse clearing protocol, and then bringing that same sample to confocal for sub-cellular analysis of the same tissue?
  • [00:05:18] To what extent do you see AI tools being integrated into workflows? Do you see them replacing manual cell counting?
