Webinar synopsis: 

Light sheet microscopy is an extremely powerful alternative to established 
fluorescence imaging techniques, especially when it comes to 3-D imaging deep 
within tissue or within whole live organisms. By selectively illuminating the 
observed optical section with a thin sheet of light, photo bleaching is reduced 
to a minimum, making light sheet microscopy ideal for nondestructive imaging of 
fragile samples over extended periods of time. With this ultimate 3-D 
microscopy technique, millimeter-sized samples can be imaged extremely fast 
and with remarkable resolution and penetration depth. Our panel of experts will 
introduce the audience to this novel and powerful technique, providing real-
world examples of its application in a variety of research settings.

 During the webinar, our speakers will:
• Give a brief summary of the technique, its advantages, and its challenges
• Present the advances in their research made possible through the use of light 
sheet microscopy
• Answer questions submitted by you!

Presenters: 
- Ernst H. K. Stelzer, Ph.D.; Goethe University, Frankfurt, Germany
- Pavel Tomancak, Ph.D.; Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and 
Genetics, Dresden, Germany
- Lars Hufnagel, Ph.D.; European Molecular Biology Laboratory, Heidelberg, 
Germany
