Configurations	page	The flexibility of light sheet microscopes such as OpenSPIM allows for different configurations

The flexibility of light sheet microscopes such as OpenSPIM allows for different configurations. The standard setup consists of one illumination arm ("1I") and one detection arm ("1D"). One can add a second illumination arm ("2I") to improve the homogeneity of the light sheet illumination and/or to reduce the need for rotation. A second detection arm ("2D") enables the simultaneous acquisition from both sides.

basic configurations

	1I 1D	single-sided illumination single-sided detection	xxx / xxx mm (w/d)
	2I 1D	double-sided illumination single-sided detection	xxx / xxx mm (w/d)
	2I 2D	double-sided illumination double-sided detection	xxx / xxx mm (w/d)
