Bruker Introduces Light-Sheet Microscope for Imaging Optically Cleared Samples
Bruker announced the release of the Luxendo MuVi SPIM light-sheet fluorescence microscope for imaging optically cleared samples. The MuVi SPIM technology allows fast, long-term imaging of large samples with highest resolution and optical sectioning, as well as minimized photodamage. By means of physicochemical clearing techniques, the optical properties of usually opaque samples are modified to render them transparent, while keeping their structure intact.

ZEISS Elyra 7 with Lattice SIM
ZEISS introduced ZEISS Elyra 7 with Lattice SIM, a new flexible platform for fast and gentle 3D superresolution. Lattice SIM expands the possibilities of structured illumination microscopy. Illuminating the sample with a lattice pattern rather than grid lines gives higher contrast and allows a more robust image reconstruction. Scientists can use 2× higher sampling efficiency to lower the illumination dosage to observe fast cellular processes in superresolution.
