Light-sheet microscopy has become indispensable for imaging developing organisms, and imaging from multiple directions (views) is essential to improve its spatial resolution. We combine multi-view light-sheet microscopy with microfluidics using adaptive optics (deformable mirror) which corrects aberrations introduced by the 45 o -tilted glass coverslip. The optimal shape of the deformable mirror is computed by an iterative algorithm that optimizes the point-spread function in two orthogonal views. Simultaneous correction in two optical arms is achieved via a knife-edge mirror that splits the excitation path and combines the detection paths. Our design allows multi-view light-sheet microscopy with microfluidic devices for precisely controlled experiments and high-content screening.
