Instant Volume Microscopy of Organoids with SOLIS

Abstract

Advancements in microscopy techniques have revolutionized our ability to explore the intricacies of biological systems, with engineered human heart tissue (EHT) being a particularly challenging target. In this article, we will have an in-depth look at the award-winning SOLIS technique (scanned oblique light-sheet instant-volume sectioning), a new twist on multifocus fluorescence microscopy. Through its unique capabilities, SOLIS offers a new approach on organoid and tissue imaging, providing unprecedented insights into the cellular architecture of these complex artificial samples. By being able to record optically sectioned volumes during single camera exposures, SOLIS demonstrates remarkable advantages over traditional multifocus microscopy, underscoring its potential to transform our understanding of developmental biology, disease mechanisms, and potential therapeutic interventions.
