Recent advances in optical clearing and light-sheet microscopy have provided unprecedented access to structural and molecular information from intact tissues. However, current light-sheet microscopes have imposed constraints on the size, shape, number of specimens, and compatibility with various clearing protocols. Here we present a multi-immersion open-top light-sheet microscope that enables simple mounting of multiple specimens processed with a variety of clearing protocols, which will facilitate wide adoption by preclinical researchers and clinical laboratories. In particular, the open-top geometry provides unsurpassed versatility to interface with a wide range of accessory technologies in the future.
近年来,光学透明化和光片显微镜技术的进步为获取完整组织的结构和分子信息提供了前所未有的手段。然而,目前的光片显微镜对样本的大小、形状、数量以及与各种透明化方案的兼容性都有一定的限制。在这里,我们介绍了一种多浸式开放式顶片光片显微镜,它可以方便地安装经过各种透明化方案处理的多个样本,这将有助于临床前研究人员和临床实验室广泛采用。特别是,开放式的设计为未来与各种辅助技术进行接口提供了无与伦比的多功能性。
