Workshop

Live imaging of large multicellular systems with open top dual view light sheet microscopy

Charles Perkins Centre, University of Sydney

Friday 6th February 2026

Available Session Times: 10:00am - 12:00pm, 2:00pm - 4:00pm

The Viventis Deep microscope helps you to expand the spatiotemporal understanding of your sample to its full depth, thanks to increased spatio-temporal resolution. Achieve detailed volumetric imaging for a complete view of the sample with a patented combination of >Dual illumination >Dual view detection >Multi-Position >Open top sample holder. You can even image large light scattering samples over time with outstanding quality for meaningful downstream analysis, while minimizing light dose and maintaining sample accessibility. During this workshop Leica Microsystems will provide you with an overview of the system and show proof-of-concept imaging capabilities of model systems.

Learning Outcomes

  • Understand how Viventis Deep can be used for imaging a variety of model systems, including intestine, liver and human colon cancer organoids and zebrafish embryos

  • Understand how Viventis Deep provides high image quality while preserving sample viability
