Research team addresses a problem that has long challenged scientists: Seeing the structures of three dimensional cells with comparable resolution in each dimension

Facility will help accelerate biomedical investigations on everything from cancer biology to drug discovery

Increasingly, two-dimensional CBAs are viewed as artificial constructs since cells occur naturally in 3D.

First-of-their-kind images by Berkeley Lab-led research team could aid in use of DNA to build nanoscale devices

In two recent Caltech studies, researchers used a state-of-the-art imaging technique to capture, for the first time, three-dimensional views of this tiny complicated machinery in bacteria

"Our method is a valuable platform for imaging and studying the effect of rotation at the single cell level." 

A team of Stanford Bio-X scientists developed the first technique for viewing cells and tissues in three dimensions under the skin

Findings allow scientists to study neural stem cells' behavior without harming them

“This metholodogy provides a much more accurate and realistic image of the shape, size and interactions of soft tissues in the very small brains of insects.”

While other 3D cameras are currently on the market, the new design should be smaller and able to achieve higher resolutions.
