New Microscopy Technique Enables Selective Visualization of Individual Cells Within Living Organism Tissue

Researchers at ETH Zurich's Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering in Basel have developed a new microscopy technique that enables for the first time to selectively visualize individual cells within the complex, three-dimensional tissue of a living organism. The researchers have thus succeeded in capturing spectacular microscopic images, such as in the nervous system of a zebrafish larva, a preferred model organism for research. Motor neurons in the spinal cord can be seen in the researchers' images; at the same time, a single neuron with all its extensions is highlighted in another colour.
