Many questions in biology requ

, and the whole organ it later becomes. Light-sheet fluorescence microscop
y is the method of choice for both\, because it illuminates only the plane
being recorded\, keeping samples alive and volumes fast to acquire. This
calls for a modular light-sheet microscope that spans subcellular structur
es to centimeter-scale specimens\, tunable in resolution and adaptable acr
