High-speed microscopy captures 3D images of living cells nearly 400 times faster
Researchers at the University of Tokyo have developed a high-speed microscopy technique that captures images so quickly they can be used to make "videos" of the dynamic processes that occur inside living cells.
Summary
Researchers at the University of Tokyo have developed a high-speed microscopy technique that captures images so quickly they can be used to make "videos" of the dynamic processes that occur inside living cells. The team shone mid-infrared light on samples to create a photothermal signal and then captured snapshots of the varied temperature-change signatures given off by different molecules within the cell.
