Light-Sheet Fluorescence Microscopy (LSFM) enables gentle, rapid, and efficient volumetric imaging of biological specimens. Despite its potential, LSFM has fragmented into multiple variants, each narrowly optimized for specific samples or imaging regimes, limiting its broad applicability. To overcome this barrier, we introduce the multi-immersion oblique plane microscope (miOPM), an adaptable LSFM platform for high-resolution imaging ranging from subcellular dynamics to whole organisms and cleared tissues. miOPM uniquely supports seamless interchangeability of oil, water, and air objectives, and maintains diffraction limited performance across a refractive index range of 1.33 - 1.51. It is compatible with standard sample mounting, current clearing protocols and high-throughput 3D imaging. We leverage miOPM to image diverse biological specimens at multiple spatial scales. By greatly expanding the adaptability and ease of use of LSFM, miOPM is poised to democratize advanced three-dimensional imaging.
