Microscope Marks Head-Mounted Advance Toward Treating Neurological Disorders
WASHINGTON, D.C., April 8, 2022 — Researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder, the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, and Arizona State University have developed a head-mounted, lightweight, fluorescence microscope that provides full 3D imaging and enhanced contrast in scattering tissue through optical sectioning. By imaging deeper into the brain than any previous miniature widefield microscope, the researchers believe their device could help improve the ability to observe neural circuits and their
