  • Flexible light sheet generation by field synthesis
    Patent number: 11156818
    Abstract: A light sheet microscopy apparatus has a light source, a spatial light filter, a scanning device positioned between the light source and the spatial light filter, an imaging device, a computer readable medium, and a computer processor coupled to the light source, the scanning device, the imaging device, and the computer-readable medium. The computer processor is configured to operate the light source to generate a light beam, control the scanning device to scan the light beam across the spatial light filter to generate the light sheet, and utilize the imaging device to capture one or more images of light emitted by a sample illuminated by the one or more light sheets.
    Type: Grant
