Description

Implementations of light-sheet microscopes are often incompatible with standard methods of sample mounting. Light-sheet microscopy uses orthogonal illumination and detection to create a thin sheet of light which does not illuminate the sample outside of the depth of field of the detection axis. Typically, this configuration involves a pair of orthogonal objectives which constrains the positioning of a length of coverslips or microscopes in range of the detection objective. This is an open-hardware sample mounting system for light-sheet microscopes using large detection objectives is presented.
