Prototype of the laser scanner developed. (A) The system has an integrated gas vaporizer (arrow) and ventilator (arrow head), allowing for surgical procedures to be performed on the imaging stage. (B) The microscope head containing the acquisition chamber can be tilted from −10° to 70° to either side, minimizing animal repositioning and facilitating the imaging of uneven or curved organ surfaces. (C and D) New stick objectives allow a minimally invasive microscopy of internal organs through keyhole incisions.
