Researchers studied a microscopic alliance between algae and cyanobacteria to understand how bacteria lose genes and adapt to increasing host dependence. The study found that the level of integration between the symbionts affects genome size, gene content, and metabolic pathways.
A new toolkit developed by researchers at the University of Houston, in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health, enables rapid drug development for brain diseases and injuries. The toolkit uses high-resolution imaging to analyze unhealthy brain tissue, revealing multiple biological processes at once.
Researchers developed a smart lens that transmits light to correct optical aberrations, improving image quality in biological samples. The device can be easily installed on commercial microscopes, enabling advanced optical techniques like multiphoton microscopy.
University of Utah engineers develop 'computational cannula microscopy' to capture high-resolution images of animal brains using surgical needles and laser light. This non-invasive method shows promise for studying neurological disorders and could lead to a simpler, less expensive alternative to endoscopes for human patients.
Researchers have developed a micron-resolution particle image velocimetry system to measure velocity fields in bioanalysis systems where low-light level imaging is critical. The technique has been refined to provide velocity-field measurements with spatial resolutions approaching 1 micron.
