Multi-resolution open-top light-sheet microscopy to enable efficient 3D pathology workflows

Abstract

Open-top light-sheet (OTLS) microscopes have been developed for user-friendly and versatile high-throughput 3D microscopy of thick specimens. As with all imaging modalities, spatial resolution trades off with imaging and analysis times. A hierarchical multi-scale imaging workflow would therefore be of value for many volumetric microscopy applications. We describe a compact multi-resolution OTLS microscope, enabled by a novel solid immersion meniscus lens (SIMlens), which allows users to rapidly transition between air-based objectives for low- and high-resolution 3D imaging. We demonstrate the utility of this system by showcasing an efficient 3D analysis workflow for a diagnostic pathology application.
