- diSPIM with addition of capturing fluorescence from inverted microscope objective for improved resolution and light efficiency at cost of significantly increased complexity
- 4D (x-y-z-t) imaging of thick biological samples by means of Two-Photon inverted Selective Plane Illumination Microscopy (2PE-iSPIM) Sci. Rep. 6:23923 (2016). doi: 10.1038/srep23923. PMID: 27033347
