Hi all,
As mentioned earlier today by George McNamara, there are two commercial manufacturers of Lightsheet systems. While the Zeiss Z1 appears to be optimized for very small living samples like zebrafish and drosophila embryos, the LaVision system does a great job on larger samples like whole mouse brain that has been cleared. I've been reviewing them both in anticipation of a purchase later this year.

Hello Nicola,
Zeiss is currently the only commercial manufacturer of a Lightsheet system. We just installed the first system in North America in our facility, not sure how many have already been installed in Europe. We're very impressed with the system.
Feel free to contact me off-list for more details.
