{{Main|Light sheet fluorescence microscopy}}
Using a plane of light formed by focusing light through a cylindrical lens at a narrow angle or by scanning a line of light in a plane perpendicular to the axis of objective, high resolution optical sections can be taken.<ref>{{Cite journal| doi = 10.1016/S0378-5955(02)00493-8| pmid = 12204356| issn = 0378-5955| volume = 71| pages = 119–128| last = Voie| first = A.H.| title = Imaging the intact guinea pig tympanic bulla by orthogonal-plane fluorescence optical sectioning microscopy| journal = Hearing Research| year = 1993| issue = 1–2| s2cid = 12775304}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal| doi = 10.1063/1.2428277| issn = 0034-6748| volume = 78| last = Greger| first = K.| author2 = J.
