Light Sheet Microscope Leasing for Labs
3D fluorescence imaging—without tying up your budget. Lease the light sheet microscope that fits your workflow.
What Is a Light Sheet Microscope?
Light sheet fluorescence microscopes (LSFM) use thin sheets of light to illuminate one optical section of a sample at a time, enabling rapid, high-resolution 3D imaging with minimal photodamage. These systems are widely used in developmental biology, neuroscience, and live-cell imaging to study dynamic processes in large or delicate samples.
Why Lease a Light Sheet Microscope?
Light sheet systems enable volumetric imaging of whole embryos, organs, and tissues with reduced bleaching and phototoxicity—but acquiring one often requires a substantial capital investment due to custom optics, dual-sided illumination, and integrated analysis tools.
Leasing helps you bring LSFM capabilities into your lab—whether you’re conducting long-term live imaging or cleared-tissue studies—without financial barriers or delays.
Where Leasing a Light Sheet Microscope Adds Value
Light sheet microscopes enable fast, high-resolution 3D imaging with minimal phototoxicity—ideal for live-cell imaging, developmental biology, and tissue clearing studies. But these advanced systems often require significant upfront investment.
Leasing can be a smart choice when:
- You’re studying developmental biology—Image whole organisms with low photodamage.
- You’re working with cleared tissues—Visualize deep structures in transparent specimens.
- You’re monitoring live-cell dynamics—Capture time-lapse 3D imaging without stressing samples.
Whether mapping neural networks or studying organogenesis, leasing a light sheet microscope provides access to powerful imaging—without delaying research or overextending your budget.
