The new microscope offers a number of benefits over the existing brain-imaging technologies, including greater sensitivity, safety, storage size of images and power usage. Specifically, the new system ...

Researchers have developed a new two-photon fluorescence microscope that captures high-speed images of neural activity at cellular resolution. By imaging much faster and with less harm to brain tissue ...

The researchers demonstrated the new microscope by using it to image calcium signals, which are indicators of neural activity, in living mouse brain tissue. The system captured these signals at a ...

Dissecting the brain can reveal various pathologies, or signs of disease, in greater detail. Typically, the first step of a brain dissection involves turning the brain upside down and removing the ...

Move over, macro: researchers have created the world’s smallest silicon LED and holographic microscope, and among its uses is a hack that'll let you use your smartphone to view objects as tiny ...
