New High-Speed 3D Microscope—Scape—Gives Deeper View of Living Things #SCAPE, a new microscope that images living things in 3-D at very high speeds, has been developed. The microscope uses a simple, single-objective imaging geometry that requires no sample mounting or translation, making it possible to image #freely #moving living samples. Its ability to perform real-time #3D imaging at cellular resolution in behaving organisms could be transformative for #biomedical and #neuroscience research Beyond neuroscience, future applications of SCAPE incl imaging cellular replication, function, and motion in intact tissues, 3D cell cultures, and engineered tissue constructs, as well as imaging 3D dynamics in microfluidics, and flow-cell cytometry systems—all applications where molecular biology is delivering tools and techniques, but imaging methods have struggled to keep up +video-rate 3D microendoscopy and intrasurgical imaging. Next-generation versions of SCAPE are in development that will deliver even better speed, resolution, sensitivity, and penetration depth. newswise/articles/new-high-speed-3d-microscope-scape-gives-deeper-view-of-living-things2
