Popis: The introduction of light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) has overcome the challenges in conventional optical microscopy. Among the recent breakthroughs in fluorescence microscopy, LSFM had been proven to provide a high three-dimensional spatial resolution, high signal-to-noise ratio, fast imaging acquisition rate, and minuscule levels of phototoxic and photodamage effects. The aforementioned auspicious properties are crucial in the biomedical and clinical research fields, covering a broad range of applications: from the super-resolution imaging of intracellular dynamics in a single cell to the high spatiotemporal resolution imaging of developmental dynamics in an entirely large organism. In this review, we provided a systematic outline of the historical development of LSFM, detailed discussion on the variants and improvements of LSFM, and delineation on the most recent technological advancements of LSFM and its potential applications in single molecule/particle detection, single-molecule super-resolution imaging, imaging intracellular dynamics of a single cell, multicellular imaging: cell–cell and cell–matrix interactions, plant developmental biology, and brain imaging and developmental biology.
