MesoSPIMs: Custom-built microscopes that can scan individual neurons in the brain
MesoSPIMs are open-source light-sheet microscopes for imaging cleared tissue. The custom-built microscopes enable scientists to look at individual neurons using sheets of light rather than cutting a brain into slices. The mesoSPIM Initiative paves the way for the future discovery and understanding of the brain’s complex organization. The studies may one day reveal vital information…
