Lattice Lightsheet
We installed a Lattice Light-Sheet Microscope designed by Eric Betzig, Janelia Farm Research Campus. Light-Sheet Microscopy enables increased imaging speed while keeping photobleaching and phototoxicity to a minimum by illuminating only the focal plane of the detection objective. In Lattice Light-Sheet Microscopy, a lattice of Bessel-Gauss beams is used to create a thin, yet long light-sheet to confine the illumination in the axial direction of the detection objective. This results in unprecedented spatiotemporal resolution when imaging live samples from cells to tissues in 3D over time.
