Why
Scientists faced a dilemma with microscopes used to image tissues, choosing between quality and affordability, as expensive lenses gave clear images but couldn't look deep, while cheaper lenses went deeper but produced blurry images.
The Frontline Impact
How this affects you
This new HySIL system allows inexpensive air lenses to deliver high-resolution images across centimeter-scale tissues and virtually any common sample-preparation method, potentially revolutionizing medical imaging for brain and cancer research globally by making advanced 3D imaging more accessible and affordable.
