Light sheet microscopy allows biologists to selectively light up a thin slice of a sample. This method can improve image contrast by reducing background light while remaining gentle on the sample, reducing photodamage and photobleaching. Rice University's Anna-Karin Gustavsson has published a method in Nano Letters that expands the use of light sheet microscopy to work with a single objective in commercially available sample chambers.
