Three-dimensional fluorescent microscopy via simultaneous illumination and detection at multiple planes. [PDF]
The conventional optical microscope is an inherently two-dimensional (2D) imaging tool. The objective lens, eyepiece and image sensor are all designed to capture light emitted from a 2D 'object plane'.

Photoswitching-Enabled Contrast Enhancement in Light Sheet Fluorescence Microscopy [PDF]
Light sheet fluorescence microscopy enables high-resolution imaging of thick biological samples. By restricting the fluorescence excitation to a single plane, rapid wide-field image acquisition is possible with minimal sample exposure.

Visualizing the Invisible: Advanced Optical Microscopy as a Tool to Measure Biomechanical Forces
The importance of mechanical force in biology is evident across diverse length scales, ranging from tissue morphogenesis during embryo development to mechanotransduction across single adhesion proteins at the cell surface.

Simplified three-dimensional tissue clearing and incorporation of colorimetric phenotyping. [PDF]
Tissue clearing methods promise to provide exquisite three-dimensional imaging information; however, there is a need for simplified methods for lower resource settings and for non-fluorescence based phenotyping to enable light microscopic imaging ...

Single Molecule Imaging of Transcription Factor Binding to DNA in Live Mammalian Cells [PDF]
Imaging single fluorescent proteins in living mammalian cells is challenged by out-of-focus fluorescence excitation. To reduce out-of-focus fluorescence we developed reflected light-sheet microscopy (RLSM), a fluorescence microscopy method allowing ...

Linearly modulated multi-focal diffractive lens for multi-sheet excitation of flow-driven samples in a light-sheet fluorescence microscope [PDF]
Light-sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) with single light-sheet illumination enables rapid 3Dimaging of living cells. In this paper we show the design, fabrication and characterization of a diffractive optical element producing several light sheets ...

Imaging plant germline differentiation within Arabidopsis flowers by light sheet microscopy [PDF]
In higher plants, germline differentiation occurs during a relatively short period within developing flowers. Understanding of the mechanisms that govern germline differentiation lags behind other plant developmental processes.

Light Sheet Fluorescence Microscopy
In light-sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) the optical axes of the image-forming microscope objective and the objective providing illumination of the specimen are at right angles to one another (Olarte et al., 2018). A sheet of light is incident on the specimen, and fluorescence is produced and hence detected only in that plane.
