At many universities, student researchers rarely get the chance to even see a transmission electron microscope, or TEM, up close—let alone use one. At BYU, undergraduate students are about to run the ...

With a new microscope that's as light as a penny, researchers can now observe broad swaths of the brain in action as mice move about and interact with their environments.

The researchers used their improved open-top light-sheet microscope to capture images of densely labeled clinical specimens, showing its potential for nondestructive 3D pathology.

Compared to traditional imaging, this specialized light sheet microscope caused less toxicity and photobleaching, which allowed the team to image cells for longer.
