+# Power sensor holder for Zeiss Light sheet 7 (X-Cite XR2100 model)
+
+Power sensor holder developed for Zeiss Light sheet 7. It is compatible with the model X-Cite XR2100 power sensor. 
+This is used for routine laser power measurements on this Zeiss microscope system.
+
+## How to use
+
+The dimensions of this model are similar to the chambers used for imaging in this microscope system. It can be used for both right and left side illuminations. 
+And it is designed in a way that the Light sheet will be centered in the power sensor window (see software settings below in more detail).
+
+### Software settings
+
+- No objectives mounted, but selected 5x water and 5x illumination objectives in the software
+- Zoom factor: 1
+- Lightsheet Z-offset: 0 (for both left and right illumination)
+
+## Acknowledgments
+This model is adapted from the one created by Robert Hauschild (ISTA) for the Thorlabs sensor: available [here](https://git.ista.ac.at/rhauschild/power-sensor-holder/-/blob/main/parts/lightsheet7.stl).
+The model we use was printed using a Bambu Lab X1-Carbon, available in the [Research Instrumentation Facility](https://www.biozentrum.unibas.ch/about/administration/administration-a-z/overview/unit/research-instrumentation-facility) of the Biozentrum, University of Basel.
