Abstract In this chapter, the authors present some of the commercial or open-source systems available. Now, it is important to remember that most part of the systems described are relatively recent and they are evolving rapidly as the technology and the integration of multimodal systems improve at a very fast pace. The history of ZEISS and light sheet microscopy reaches back over a hundred years and was always characterized by a close collaboration between engineers and scientist. A classical light sheet setup implicates new features compared with conventional microscopy, and ZEISS was aware that a bundle of questions had to be answered to derive a consistent concept for a commercial system. The illumination units are designed to work with a fibered laser source and allow direct imaging of an optical section with a single frame at full camera resolution. Special attention has been given to the chamber design and its sample mounting accessories.
