Researchers Use Digital Holographic Microscopy to Observe Neuronal Activity in Real-Time

The need for powerful tools for understanding the fine inner functionings of neurons is critical. By using a technology from materials science as the basis, a research team comprising advanced imaging experts, psychiatrists, and neurobiologists from Switzerland's CHUV and EPLF has identified a new way to use digital holographic microscopy (DHM) for observing in real-time the neuronal activity at three-dimensions with a resolution of up to 50 times greater than existing methods.
