Powerful New Microscope Allows Scientists To View The World Like Never Before discover-ict/ Youve never seen cells up-close quite like this. Developed at Howard Hughes Medical Institute, a powerful new #microscope can record the activity of living cells, molecules, and embryos in #3D and in real-time. Just check out the video that shows a HeLa cell dividing, and prepare for your mind to be blown. The microscope uses a technique called lattice light-sheet #microscopy, which involves scanning a cell with ultra-thin sheets of light. This process allows scientists to collect high-resolution images while minimizing light damage to the cells. The research was described in a paper published online in the journal Science on Oct. 24.
