This August, a demo unit of Zeiss's Lattice Lightsheet 7 will be in 157A in Steger Hall. The lattice lightsheet provides high resolution, high speed, and gentle imaging of various samples, imaging up to 200 microns deep. Traditional sample imaging carriers (such as 35mm dishes, slides, chambered coverglass) can be used.
