Abstract: (1585 Views)
Light-sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) is a powerful method 3D imaging of biological samples with the minimal photodamage, and high imaging speeds. However, achieving high lateral resolution for single cell imaging applications is a challenging issue for the method. Here, we demonstrate that using a transparent microsphere (250 µm diameter) in the imaging system, leads to 3.2x increase of the magnification, and an enhanced resolution. The capability of the approach is verified single-cell imaging of breast cancer cell line MCF7, and the results are compared with conventional LSFM images without the microsphere. Our proposed arrangement can be considered as an inexpensive and simple alternative for using high-NA objectives in LSFM.
