CYLINDRICAL LATTICE LIGHTSHEET - SIMPLIFIED LATTICE ILLUMINATOR FOR LIGHTSHEET MICROSCOPE

摘要

The present disclosure describes a simple, efficient way to generate a lattice lightsheet for a lightsheet microscope. There are no moving parts, and even the need to dither is removed. The light efficiency is many times higher than conventional techniques. Similar to using a cylindrical lens to generate a Gaussian sheet, the present disclosure also uses cylindrical lenses and is called a Cylindrical Lattice Lightsheet or CLLS.
