I was busy thinkin’ bout REAL cells in REAL detail, thanks to light sheet microscopy, which is able to make high-resolution 3D images of living organisms and tissues. It works by scanning the light sheet through a sample and capturing images slice by slice, which are then reconstructed into a 3D image and video.
Alenka Lovy, Anibal Vargas and team hope to bring mobile versions of this technology to South America. This is vital to enable more researchers to advance our understanding of complex biological systems, aid in disease research, and contribute to discoveries in neuroscience, developmental biology, and more.
