How Does LSFM Compare to Other Imaging Techniques?
LSFM offers several advantages over other imaging techniques such as confocal microscopy and two-photon microscopy. While confocal and two-photon microscopy provide excellent resolution, they often result in significant photodamage due to the high intensity of the focused light. LSFM, on the other hand, illuminates only a thin section of the sample, thereby reducing photodamage and allowing for longer imaging sessions.
