We are thrilled to announce the publication of our paper in cardiovascular research, which introduces an imaging technique light-sheet fluorescence microscopy. LSFM enables real-time tracking of individual cardiomyocytes and analysis of contractile function. This approach, combined with retrospective synchronization, single cell tracking, and VR analysis, allows for comprehensive 4D investigation of the atrium and ventricle at a cellular level.
