Dear Listers,

We are considering getting a light sheet setup for our core. I had a chance
to test briefly the Z.1 system from Zeiss and prepare to send some samples
to Germany to test the Ultramicroscope. Havy any of you worked with either
of these systems? I would be very thankful for any suggestion/comment
advice on this matter.

Our typical application is imaging of CLARITY cleared mouse brain samples.
High resolution may be very beneficial (imaging of axonal tracks) but not
absolutely necessary at this point. The Z.1 can work with a "CLARITY" long
working distance objectives, but the immersion media is limited to
non-organic solvents, so no BAAB/iDISCO, etc. Ultramicroscope as I have
learned today, can be used with any objective, but I wonder how is
chromatic aberration correction handled (hope to hear about that from the
company soon).

Thank you in advance,
Vladimir
