Modern imaging is contributing significantly to giving us a better understanding of how our brains work. In the long term, ...

Electron microscopes are used to visualize the structure of solids, molecules, or nanoparticles with atomic resolution. However, most materials are not static. Rather, they interact, move, and reshape ...

Researchers have incorporated a swept illumination source into an open-top light-sheet microscope to enable improved optical sectioning over a larger area of view. The advance makes the technique more ...

At many universities, student researchers rarely get the chance to even see a transmission electron microscope, or TEM, up ...

BU neuroscientist and collaborators have developed a multidisciplinary approach using a new microscope, artificial intelligence algorithm, and voltage indicators to better measure brain activity. When ...

As a mouse explores its environment, millions of neurons across the brain fire in sync. To study only a small subsection at a time would be to miss the forest for the trees, but powerful microscopes ...
