SCALEVIEW objectives, which have received multiple honors this year, help facilitate breakthrough research on the functioning of the brain and other vital organs.
Until recently, brain science researchers using light microscopes had to slice thin sections of tissue. Every cut damaged and potentially deformed the samples, and the tissue itself was so opaque that it scattered most light. But with the new objectives, researchers can see up to 8 mm deep without slicing. This allows them to see the tangled, complex interconnectedness of the brain much more clearly. Having a better understanding the brain’s functioning could ultimately help sufferers with Parkinson’s, autism, Alzheimer’s, traumatic injuries and more. The new objectives work so well because they were specifically designed and engineered for use with a revolutionary clearing reagent developed by Dr. Gold Edison Award Click here to read more.
