An Extended DIY Light-sheet Microscope Enabling Four-color Volumetric Imaging of Whole Biological Samples.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objectives: A combination of tissue clearing technology and light-sheet fluorescence microscopy enables volumetric analysis of intact biological specimens. To analyze complex spatial organizations of molecules and cells, the number of imaging channels available for simultaneous visualization from a single sample is a key parameter. This study aimed to expand the previously reported DIY compact light-sheet microscope, descSPIM, for four-color volumetric imaging of whole biological samples. Materials: A four-color-labeled optical phantom and an entire E12.5 mouse embryo labeled with a nuclear stain and three distinct antibodies were used. Methods: We modified the previously reported DIY compact light-sheet microscope, descSPIM, for four-color volumetric imaging. Chromatic aberration was evaluated across the visible wavelength range (400-700 nm) using the four-color-labeled optical phantom. Four-color three-dimensional imaging was then performed on the entire E12.5 mouse embryo. Results: The chromatic aberration of the extended descSPIM was mostly negligible across the visible wavelength range (400-700 nm). The extended system also enabled four-color three-dimensional imaging covering the entire E12.5 mouse embryo. Conclusions: Together, these results validate the reliability and expandability of the extended system, supporting its broader use for multicolor imaging of cleared tissue samples.
