Abstract:
An integrated optofluidic device to illuminate, along an irradiation direction, a fluidic sample containing an object to be analysed, the device comprising: a substrate comprising an entry surface and being made of a material transparent to a light beam incident through the entry surface along the irradiation direction; a microfluidic channel formed in the substrate and having a channel portion intercepting the irradiation direction and extending along a longitudinal axis transverse to the irradiation direction, the microfluidic channel comprising a first flow inlet port for loading a fluidic sample therein, and an elongated lens cavity for an optofluidic cylindrical lens, the cavity being formed in the substrate and being arranged along the beam irradiation direction between the entry surface and the microfluidic channel, wherein the lens cavity is in fluid communication with a lens inlet port for loading a lens fluid.

Claim (Index 16):
A light-sheet fluorescence microscope comprising:\n an integrated optofluidic device of  claim 1 ; a light source configured to emit a light beam; an optical fibre optically coupled to the light source and optically coupled at one its ends to the entry surface of the substrate at a surface position such that to emit light along an irradiation direction passing through the lens cavity and the channel portion of the microfluidic channel; a microscope objective lens arranged with its optical axis along a detection direction perpendicular to the irradiation direction and configured to collect fluorescence light emitted from an object in the fluidic sample, and a photodetector device optically coupled to the microscope objective lens for detecting the fluorescence light.
