New Fluorescent Protein Permanently Marks Neurons that Fire
A new tool developed at HHMI's Janelia Research Campus lets scientists permanently mark neurons that are active at a particular time.
Janelia Scientists Win Olympus BioScapes Digital Imaging Competition
Fernando Amat, Philipp Keller, and William Lemon win first prize in the 2014 Olympus BioScapes Digital Imaging Competition for their video that captures the early development of a fruit fly embryo.
New Microscope Collects Dynamic Images of the Molecules that Animate Life
A new imaging platform designed at Janelia produces high-resolution images with little light damage to cells.
New Tools Help Neuroscientists Analyze Big Data
Big data can mean big headaches for scientists. A new library of software tools from Janelia speeds analysis of data sets so large and complex they would take days or weeks to analyze on a single workstation – if a single workstation could do it at all.
