Dr. Hongwei Dong of UCLA discusses his work in Connectome project imaging using the Olympus VS110(R) slide scanner, and his iConnectome interactive connectivity database of C57BL/6J mouse line.
Dr. Atsushi Miyawaki discusses many topics including the revolutionary Scale clearing technique allowing 4mm deep multiphoton imaging for Connectome work.
Dr. Hongkui Zeng of the Allen Institute for Brain Science discusses her work in building an interactive brain atlas using multiple imaging modalities.
The Olympus VS110 Virtual Microscopy System combines
microscopy seamlessly with digital imaging,
allowing the creation of a virtual slide that is a digital
copy of the original specimen. The virtual slide can be
shared in real time with multiple persons across the
globe. The VS110 generates a high resolution image
of the whole specimen, which can be viewed and analyzed
from the overview image at low magnification
up to maximum magnification by simply panning and
zooming. All samples can be evaluated instantly and
simultaneously as they are stored electronically on a
central server. As a result, the VS110 is ideal for use
in a number of areas including research, bio/pharma
and education.

When it comes to animal research, there's no getting around one simple fact: It's expensive. Between care, housing, and feeding, live animals can take a serious bite out of a researchers' bottom line. That's especially true if that researcher is...
A self-contained confocal microscope that allows simple, stress-free operation coupled with advanced optical performance, high definition confocal images, and no need for a darkroom.
The Olympus cell^TIRF illuminator represents the very latest in TIRF technology and is the only system on the market to offer true simultaneous multi-color imaging. Pioneers of objective based TIRF, Olympus has also released three new TIRF optics with the 60x 1.49NA, the 100x 1.49NA and the 150x 1.45NA.
The power to see inside cells, inside organelles, even to see individual molecules, is growing at an alarming rate. Cellular imaging is changing rapidly, according to Scott Olenych, consultant at Carl Zeiss MicroImaging. “New techniques are becoming available to address the questions of researchers in new and...
The Olympus Disk Spinning Unit (DSU) is a relatively recent technological advancement in the field of microscopy-based cellular research that employs fluorophores. The principle is based upon a small disk that...
Let’s face it: cells simply didn’t evolve to live in isolation, or even in monolayers, in little plastic dishes. How relevant are our experiments on primary cells or cultured cell lines? While we are far from answering this question completely, we do know...
Confocal microscopy is a powerful tool in cellular biology that offers insights into the organization and function of cells and even organisms. Confocal microscopy is superior to conventional fluorescence imaging as it records fluorescence generated from...
Whether you’re a professional microscopist or once did an imaging rotation in graduate school – and then resolved never again – our ability to see what’s really happening inside cells is improving at...
