Imaging Applications

Explore the wide range of applications covered by our light-sheet systems.

Organoids and spheroids

Long term imaging of a wide range of organoids.

  • Multi-positions long term imaging (up to weeks).
  • Easy sample mounting and medium exchange.
  • Wide range of organoid types (intestinal, pancreas, brain, gastruloids).

Formation of luminal structures in brain organoids, Akanksha Jain, Barbara Treutlein lab, D-BSSE Basel.

Intestinal organoids development from single cell, Gustavo de Medeiros, Prisca Liberali Lab, FMI Basel.

Oocytes and Embryos

Imaging of oocytes and embryos in micro-drop culture.

  • Precise temperature and CO2 and O2 control ensure optimal sample development.
  • Compatible with micro-drop culture.
  • High NA detection objective to resolve subcellular structures (e.g. single chromosome / kinetochores).
