The Blaze Ultramicroscope is a lightsheet microscope which is designed for capturing 3D structures of embryo scale samples. Unlike epi-illumination, lightsheet decouples the illumination and detection light path. This allows for optical sectioning at 3.8um using widefield cameras. Cameras are an order of magnitude faster than point scanning methods such as confocal. Lightsheet requires samples to be naturally optically transparent or cleared using methods such as, BABB, iDiso, Clarity, Scale etc.

Blaze has three objectives (1x, 4x, 12x) and four zoom levels (0.6x, 1x, 1.66x, 2.5x) resulting in twelve levels of magnification between 0.6x & 30x.

Objectives	Tube Lens Zoom	Laser Lines	Camera Frame
1x	0.66	405nm
4x	1.0	488nm	2048×2048
12x	1.6	561nm
	2.5	640nm
