Abstract Recent advances in optical clearing and light-sheet microscopy have provided
unprecedented access to structural and molecular information from intact
tissues. However, current light-sheet microscopes have imposed constraints on
the size, shape, number of specimens, and compatibility with various clearing
protocols. Here we present a multi-immersion open-top light-sheet microscope
that enables simple mounting of multiple specimens processed with a variety of
clearing protocols, which will facilitate wide adoption by preclinical
researchers and clinical laboratories. In particular, the open-top geometry
provides unsurpassed versatility to interface with a wide range of accessory
technologies in the future.
