  • Systems for fluorescence light sheet microscopy of large samples in high refractive index solutions
    Patent number: 11187659
    Abstract: Systems for allowing adjustable imaging of specimens of various sizes in solutions of various refractive indices, such as those with a refractive index of at least 1.45, for use in microscopes such as fluorescent light sheet microscopes. The systems allow for imaging large specimens in various refractive indices while maintaining the highest optical sectioning provided by the objectives used across the full range of microscope stage travel. The systems also allow the use of a wider range of optics, such as low magnification 2.5× detection objectives, allowing for increased imaging speed and field of view.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 9, 2020
    Date of Patent: November 30, 2021
    Assignees: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, TRANSLUCENCE BIOSYSTEMS, INC.

  • SYSTEMS FOR FLUORESCENCE LIGHT SHEET MICROSCOPY OF LARGE SAMPLES IN HIGH REFRACTIVE INDEX SOLUTIONS
    Publication number: 20200310096
    Abstract: Systems for allowing imaging of large specimens in high refractive index solutions, such as those with a refractive index of at least 1.45, for use in microscopes such as fluorescent light sheet microscopes. The systems allow for imaging large specimens in high RI while maintaining the highest optical sectioning provided by the objectives used across the full range of microscope stage travel. The systems also allow the use of a wider range of optics, such as low magnification 2.5× detection objectives, allowing for increased imaging speed and field of view.
