Method and Device for Fluorescence Investigations of Fixed and Living Three-Dimensional Samples

Light-sheet-based fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) is a powerful method to analyze 3D living or fixed biological samples – such as cell cultures, embryos, or tissue – with high temporal resolution. An advanced method has been developed to minimize negative effects due to bleaching and light-induced stress. Additionally, it is suited for larger sample sizes.
