Hand-Held AO Ophthalmoscopy Enables Cellular-Level Imaging
Advancements in adaptive optics (AO) are bringing researchers deeper into the human retina than ever before. Enabling the visualization of the living retina with cellular resolution, AO scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (AOSLO) has advanced the understanding of retinal structure in health and disease. Current-generation AOSLOs have a large footprint and are limited to imaging cooperative adult subjects.

FTIR Spectroscopy: A Comprehensive Biological Investigator
In contrast to many popular biophysical techniques — such as fluorescence spectroscopy, x-ray crystallography, or cryoelectron microscopy — samples in FTIR spectroscopy can be investigated label-free at room temperature in solution. Most structural methods yield only static snapshots of a dynamic reaction, whereas FTIR spectroscopy enables time-resolved investigation at near-native conditions, without labels that can severely interfere with the sample or the reaction.

Optogenetics Shapes Tissue to Reconstruct Epithelial Folding
Researchers at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) used precise light-mediated control of protein activity in biological tissues to reconstruct epithelial folding in embryonic Drosophila tissues. Epithelial folding is a developmental process where cells move inward and fold into the embryo, eventually giving rise to internal tissues like muscles.

Advances in Rapid 3D Imaging of Large Tissue Samples
Thu, Jan 24, 2019 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST
This webinar will discuss rapid 3D, multiplexed imaging of large tissue samples, based on recent advances in light-sheet fluorescence microscopy, multiplexed molecular labeling, and optical tissue clearing. It will provide an overview of the various approaches to imaging cleared tissue and organs, along with the advantages and drawbacks of the different methodologies. It is sponsored by Applied Scientific Instrumentation Inc. (ASI), PCO TECH, Inc., and Mad City Labs, Inc.
