Image for light sheet microscopy

light sheet microscopy

Light Sheet Microscopy is an advanced imaging technique used to observe biological samples with minimal damage. It works by illuminating the specimen with a thin sheet of light, allowing researchers to capture high-resolution images from different angles. This approach provides detailed, three-dimensional views of cells and their activities while reducing background noise and photodamage compared to traditional methods. It's particularly useful in studying live organisms, making it a vital tool in fields like developmental biology and neuroscience, as it enables scientists to watch complex processes in real-time.
