Adaptive Optics enables deep imaging in 2-photon super-resolution structured illumination microscopy
Super-resolution microscopy now enables to visualize fine neuronal structures, such as e.g. axons and dendritic spines, at unprecedent resolution. Visualization of the shape of dendritic spines at significant depths is key…
Studying brain function with Super-Resolution Microscopy
Understanding brain function, particularly at the level of neuronal synapses, is a complex and crucial endeavor in neuroscience. Neuronal synapses are where many neurological processes occur, including signal transmission and plasticity, which underlie learning and memory. Imaging these tiny structures…
Adaptive optics enhances image quality in white-light confocal microscopy
In their paper published in Journal of Microscopy, researchers from Oxford’s adaptive optics group, led by Prof. Martin Booth, describe an implementation of Adaptive Optics (AO) into Aurox Clarity optical setup. This original, laser-free, spinning disk microscope enables the use of incoherent sources for illumination…
