Light sheet microscopy offers a detailed glimpse into the intricacies of biological systems, right down to the level of individual cells. This gentle imaging method provides an unbiased observation of natural processes over time, enabling progress across scientific domains and enhancing our comprehension of biology, health, and disease.

The innovative Viventis LS2 Live light sheet fluorescence microscope offers multi-view and multi-position imaging, shedding light on life's complexities like never before. With its impressive spatio-temporal resolution and exceptional image quality, even for challenging samples, researchers can deepen their scientific insights and analyses.

Viventis Microscopy, in collaboration with the laboratory of Prisca Liberali at the Friedrich Miescher Institute in Basel, initiated light sheet microscope development in 2016. Since then, they have supplied these high-resolution instruments to leading research institutions across Europe, with Leica Microsystems offering worldwide support and service for all Viventis Microscopy products.

Viventis won the final stage of Venture Kick in 2019.
