Abstract:
Light-sheet microscopy is revolutionizing biology by enabling live in toto imaging of entire embryos or organs with minimal phototoxicity1. We present an open hardware and software platform for constructing a customizable microscope for selective- plane illumination microscopy (SPIM). The OpenSPIM platform is shared with the scientific community through a public website (http://openspim.org/), making light-sheet microscopy more acces- sible so that it can be optimized for various applications.
