OpenSPIM - an open access platform for light sheet microscopy
Light sheet microscopy promises to revolutionize developmental biology by
enabling live in toto imaging of entire embryos with minimal phototoxicity. We
present detailed instructions for building a compact and customizable Selective
Plane Illumination Microscopy (SPIM) system. The integrated OpenSPIM hardware
and software platform is shared with the scientific community through a public
website, thereby making light sheet microscopy accessible for widespread use
and optimization to various applications.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures, 6 supplementary videos, submitted to Nature
