Lattice Light-Sheet Microscopy
December 9, 2014 | Terry Sharrer
Tomorrow, Eric Betzig, a lab chief at HHMI’s Janelia Research Center in Virginia, will receive a share of the 2014 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, exactly a century after Theodore Richards became the first American to win the Chemistry Prize. Betzig’s work involves a new kind of microscopy that pushes beyond the smallest limit of visible light to see living cells in action. Since the Nobel committee reviewed his technology for photoactivated localization microscopy, he has pioneered another technique called “lattice light-sheet microscopy.” MORE WITH VIDEO
