Highspeed imaging with the ZEISS Lightfield 4D

Introducing ZEISS Lightfield 4D – A New Era in Volumetric Imaging

ZEISS proudly presents the Lightfield 4D, our latest innovation in real-time 3D imaging. Developed to meet the fast-paced demands of cutting-edge research, ZEISS Lightfield 4D offers scientists the ability to capture dynamic biological processes in four dimensions — x, y, z and time — with unmatched clarity, speed, and gentleness.

Revolutionize Your Research

Whether you're studying living cells, organoids, or whole organisms, ZEISS Lightfield 4D empowers you to visualize rapid events at a cellular level in full 3D without compromising sample viability. By capturing entire volumes in a single shot, this system eliminates the need for mechanical z-scanning, dramatically improving acquisition speed and minimizing photodamage.

What Sets ZEISS Lightfield 4D Apart?

• Single-shot volumetric imaging – Acquire complete 3D data at the maximum speed of 80 volumes per second, ideal for high-speed cellular and developmental processes.
• Low phototoxicity and photobleaching – Enables extended live imaging experiments without compromising sample viability.
• Real-time 4D visualization – See biological events unfold in both space and time, eliminating time delays within a captured volume.

Designed for Discovery

ZEISS Lightfield 4D is ideal for:

• Live-cell imaging – Monitor cellular dynamics with temporal precision.
• Neuroscience – Capture fast neuronal activity and structural changes.
• Developmental biology – Follow morphogenetic events in embryos and organoids.
• Cardiac and muscular studies – Analyse contraction, movement, and response at full volumetric speed.
• Cancer Biology – Single-shot acquisition of organoids and spheroids.

Intuitive and Flexible

This system integrates seamlessly into the LSM 9 confocal series, with an easy-to-use interface and streamlined workflows that guide users from acquisition to analysis. With ZEISS’s trusted optics and engineering, you gain confidence in every dataset and every discovery.
