Abstract:
In one embodiment, a selective plane illumination microscopy system for capturing light emitted by an illuminated specimen, the system including a specimen support having a top surface configured to support a specimen holder and an opening configured to provide access to a bottom of the specimen holder, and a selective plane illumination microscopy optical system positioned beneath the specimen support, the optical system configured to illuminate the specimen with a sheet of excitation light and including an excitation objective, a detection objective, and an open-top, hollow imaging element that is configured to contain a liquid, wherein the imaging element is positioned within the opening of the specimen support and optical axes of the objectives are aligned with the imaging element such that the axes pass through the imaging element and intersect at a position near the top surface of the specimen support.

Claim (Index 15):
An imaging element for use in an opening provided within a microscope specimen support, the imaging element comprising:\n a body that defines a hollow space; lower sides through which light can enter and exit the imaging element, the sides comprising openings through which the light passes; and an open top configured to be positioned level with a top surface of the microscope specimen support; wherein the imaging element is configured to be filled with a liquid such that a top surface of the liquid is positioned so as to contact a bottom surface of a specimen holder supported on top of the microscope specimen support.
