The Life Canvas Technologies SmartSPIM is a lightsheet microscope for imaging large cleared tissue samples with high speed and resolution. Its patented axial sweeping technology illumination optics scan the beam while synchronized to the camera’s rolling shutter detection, providing homogeneous axial PSF across the entire field of view.
The SmartSPIM is designed from the ground up. Motorized XYZ stage and stacked Z stage, 40mm wide by 65mm long sample holders, sCMOS camera Hamamatsu Fusion C14440.
405nm, 488nm, 561nm, 642nm.
