Photometrics, Cairn Research and Mizar Imaging collaborate for HSLSFM

US-based scientific camera designer and manufacturer Photometrics, scientific instruments manufacturer Cairn Research and systems developer Mizar Imaging have curated a partnership to offer a new, high power, high sensitivity light sheet fluorescence microscopy solution. The MizarTILT light sheet system combined with the Photometrics Prime 95B, the world’s first back-illuminated scientific CMOS camera, provides an ideal solution for researchers looking to use light sheet fluorescence microscopy for long time scale imaging of coverslip-mounted samples.

Fluorescence microscopes that gives users light sheet illumination capabilities along with the high-resolution imaging advantages of epifluorescence. The TILT uses a cylindrical lens to create a light sheet from an expanded laser source, similar to a conventional light sheet system. The critical difference is the TILT directs the light sheet at an angle to focus the thinnest part of the light sheet as close as possible to the objective lens.
