Washington [US], July 2 (ANI): UT (University of Texas) Southwestern scientists collaborated with colleagues in England and Australia to build and test a novel optical device that converts commonly used microscopes into multiangle projection imaging systems.
The invention, described in an article in the journal Nature Methods, could open new avenues in advanced microscopy, the researchers say. It is a completely new technology, although the theoretical foundations for it can be found in old computer science literature, said corresponding author Reto Fiolka, PhD. Both he and co-author Kevin Dean, PhD, are assistant professors of cellbiology and in the Lyda Hill Department of Bioinformatics at UT Southwestern.
