Video: New light-sheet microscope for multicellular systems unveiled
Researchers at the FMI and Viventis Microscopy teamed up to develop a cutting-edge light-sheet microscope that has the potential to transform imaging studies and enable scientific breakthroughs.
In this video, Franziska Moos — a PhD student in the lab of Prisca Liberali at the FMI — discusses the development of the new microscope, which can image different multicellular systems, including organoids and entire animals such as Hydra. The microscope allows for long-term imaging and can capture high-resolution images of cells and tissues in real-time — two abilities that have the potential to transform imaging studies and enable scientific breakthroughs.
