HalloranfalseModular, portable, high-end microscopy inside and outside the labAdvances in biological imaging have transformed our understanding of living systems, yet access to state-of-the-art microscopy remains out of reach for many researchers. This is specially true for those without direct access to specialized optics laboratories or those working with non-model organisms. To overcome these barriers, we developed Flamingo: an adaptable, modular, and portable light sheet microscope designed for diverse research environments. Flamingo enables dynamic reconfiguration to suit a wide range of imaging needs and facilitates high-quality data acquisition directly in biological labs or field stations. We utilized Flamingo to image a range of intact, living, and cleared samples, demonstrating its versatility across various sample types and experimental conditions.
