MEMS enabled miniaturized light-sheet microscopy with all optical control

Abstract We have designed and implemented a compact, cost-efficient miniaturised light-sheet microscopy system based on optical microelectromechanical systems scanners and tunable lenses. The system occupies a footprint of 20 × 28 × 13 cm3 and combines off-the-shelf optics and optomechanics with 3D-...
