Acquiring high - definition images of every cancer cell found in a blood sample, making characterization at single -
cell resolution possible.
Not exact matches
MIT engineers have now developed a way to visualize these molecules in higher
resolution than previously
possible in intact tissues, allowing researchers to precisely map the location of RNA throughout
cells.
Cell biologists have known about genomic loops for decades, but were not previously able to examine them with the level of molecular
resolution and detail that is
possible now.
The discoveries also astonished and thrilled theoreticians, because the hexagonal pattern is the optimal arrangement for achieving the highest -
possible spatial
resolution with a minimum number of grid
cells.
The combination of two processes makes this high -
resolution 3D imaging
possible: lattice light - sheet microscopy (LLSM), which images one slice of the
cell at a time, and adaptive optics (AO), which corrects for any blurriness.
The high
resolution AOSLO images make it
possible to see retinal ganglion
cells directly and to visualize the transport of mitochondria within the
cells.
