Lattice Lightsheet Microscope

18. AMBIO ZEISS Lattice Lightsheet 7

Carrier: Charité

Usable by: HU | TU | FU | Charité

Imaging Modes

  • Transmitted light with oblique contrast for sample positioning and overview
  • Reflected light and epifluorescence with laser for beam adjustment and fluorescence light sheet imaging
  • ibidi stage top incubation system (temperature, CO2, humidity) and integrated auto-immersion mechanism enable unattended long-term experiments
  • Photo-manipulation: 405 and 473 nm and lasers for FRAP and photo-activation/photo-switch and 780 nm laser for ablation experiments

Acquisition

  • Speed: Volume: 3 Vol/s @300 μm x 50 μm x 20 μm, plane: 400 frames/s @300 μm x 20 μm
  • Penetration depth up to 80 – 200 μm

Illumination

  • LED (white & red) for transmitted light
  • Laser for reflected light & epi-fluorescence: 488 nm (2 mW), 561 nm (2 mW), 640 nm (1 mW) 

Detectors

  • pco.edge 4.2 CLHS sCMOS camera (2048×2048 pixels, 300 x 300 µm, 100 fps@16-bit full frame, 82% QE, 6.5 µm pixel size)

Software

  • ZEN 3.5 (blue edition)
  • Lattice Lightsheet Processing Module (deskewing, coverglass transformation)
  • arivis Vision4D® software for advanced stitching, channel shift, high resolution volume rendering, and powerful deconvolution

Special

  • Ultra-fast live 3D subcellular imaging with minimal phototoxicity and bleaching
  • Near-isotropic resolution along the X, Y, and Z axes
  • Using standard coverslips, 35 mm cell culture imaging dishes or well plates
  • 5-axes stage tilt-able with high precision in X and Y
  • Automatic water immersion dispenser

Objectives/Optics

  • Illumination (light sheet): 13.3x / NA 0.4
  • Detection: 44.83x / NA 1.0
