Here, the authors integrate an acoustic trap with a compact light sheet fluorescence microscope to provide contactless sample confinement of biological organisms. The application of verapamil and norepinephrine to zebrafish larvae was also studied, and the heartbeat response was monitored with light sheet imaging.
