'Blaze'-ing the Trail

'Blaze'-ing the Trail

Researchers in the Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute are among the first to capture 3D images of brain cells using a powerful new microscope known as the ‘Miltenyi Ultra Microscope Blaze.’

Unlike traditional microscopes, the Blaze offers a large field of illumination by using a sheet of light rather than a point of light. Such advanced imaging allows allows neuroscientists to image and rotate and entire mouse or rat brain yet zoom in to the level of single cells and their connections. Ultimately, these visualizations assist in understanding how diseases impact the brain, in an effort to find cures.
