UTAH TEAM INVENTS WAY TO IMAGE BRAINS OF MICE USING A SMALL
NEEDLE
A University of Utah team discovered a method for turning a
small, $40 needle into a 3-D microscope capable of taking images up to 70 times
smaller than the width of a human hair. This new method not only produces
high-quality images comparable to expensive microscopes, but may be implanted
into the brains of living mice for imaging at the cellular level.
