| Description | Light sheet fluorescence microscopy with the UltraMicroscope II enables you to visualize whole biological systems and allows the generation of sharp and bright 3D images. Whether imaging large tissue samples or even entire organs, you are equipped for the task at hand regardless of the clearing Light sheet fluorescence microscopy with the UltraMicroscope II enables you to visualize whole biological systems and allows the generation of sharp and bright 3D images. Whether imaging large tissue samples or even entire organs, you are equipped for the task at hand regardless of the clearing protocol and imaging solution being used. This light sheet microscope comes in two configurations: it can be fitted with either the Zoom Body Module for easy handling in a multi-user environment, or the Super Plan Module that can deliver never-before-seen image resolution and quality.
Features:
- From overview to cellular imaging: Visualize entire biological systems like whole rodent organs, mouse embryos or insect larvae, and tumors at cellular resolution.
-
High flexibility: The UltraMicroscope II can be tailored to your needs with our modular light sheet technology and a series of objective lenses specially designed for high resolution light sheet microscopy.
-
Easy adaptation: Apply any clearing protocol and make use of the automated refractive index compensation to easily maintain high-quality images.
-
User friendly: An intuitive design and short training time make this light sheet microscope the perfect tool for multi-user environments.

With the revolutionary Lightspeed mode and the new image processing software for 3D large volumes, MACS iQ View, it sets new benchmarks for speed and image quality. Offering both a comprehensive 3D overview of the entire sample and a detailed analysis down to the subcellular level, it's a versatile tool for imaging organoids, rodent organs, or samples as large as entire mouse models or human kidneys. Used across fields like neuroscience, immuno-oncology, and developmental biology, the UltraMicroscope has contributed to over 900 publications, attesting to its excellence in generating valuable research data.
Features:
- Fully automated - Automated objective exchanger, autofocus, automatic sample release, automatic chromatic correction in both excitation and detection, as well as a batch measurement mode for imaging multiple samples are included.
- Fast - The LightSpeed mode in the UltraMicroscope Blaze offers high-resolution imaging at an unparalleled speed, up to 60 times faster than its predecessor and other systems. This remarkable speed is evident in its capability to capture a full 3D image of an entire mouse brain in less than 3 minutes, a process that would take several hours with other light sheet microscopes. The LightSpeed mode is not only fast but it also provides the best possible image quality and resolution.
- Easy to use - With the UltraMicroscope Blaze, anyone can become a light sheet microscopist. There is no need for technical expert knowledge.
- Flexible - Handling all clearing media, from water to organic solvents thanks to the dedicated objective dipping caps.
- Cutting-edge light sheet optics - Up to six light sheets, optimized for uniform illumination, improved optical sectioning, and high image quality, are combined with dedicated high numerical aperture (NA) and long working distance immersion objectives, ensuring the most homogeneous imaging conditions.
- Image processing software - Achieve superior image quality through the user-friendly post-processing workflow of "MACS® iQ View – 3D Large Volume," which includes 3D cropping, destriping, denoising, deconvolution, stitching, and contrast compression. Specifically designed for the UltraMicroscope Blaze, this software eliminates the necessity for data conversion. Utilize the convenience of batch processing to load, queue, and process multiple datasets in a single run. This feature is particularly valuable for large and multiple datasets acquired with the LightSpeed mode.
- Complete workflow - Miltenyi Biotec has got you covered from A to Z, with validated 3D-IF antibodies for staining large samples, the MACS® Clearing Kit for tissue clearing, easy-to-follow immunostaining and tissue clearing protocols, and smart software solutions, from data acquisition to image processing.
- 3D printed sample holders with clamping mechanism - Choose adaptable and easy-to-use 3D printed holders that fit your biological samples. The clamping mechanism allows for the stable holding of samples during fast acquisitions. These sample holders are highly recommended in combination with our LightSpeed mode.
- Support and trusted scientific partnership - Receive comprehensive support from a team of specialists, spanning the entire spectrum, from staining and clearing to imaging and image processing. Miltenyi Biotec employs the UltraMicroscope Platform in its own research initiatives, demonstrating a profound understanding of scientists' needs and fostering partnerships on an equal footing.
