  • Automatic reduction of shadows in single plane illumination using a spatial light modulator
    Patent number: 11719919
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided that provide multiple simultaneous beams at differing angles used in scanning a light sheet for single plane illumination and applications thereof. The use of multiple beams reduces shadows that would otherwise stretch across the entire illumination sheet. The multiple beams may be created with a spatial light modulator as part of the illumination system.

  • CYLINDRICAL LATTICE LIGHTSHEET - SIMPLIFIED LATTICE ILLUMINATOR FOR LIGHTSHEET MICROSCOPE
    Publication number: 20210215921
    Abstract: 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.
