Electron Optical Techniques For An Ultra High Resolution Color Film Recorder

Imaging biological systems at subcellular resolution and across scales is essential to under-standing how cells form tissues, organs, and organisms. However, existing large-scale optical techniques often require harsh tissue-clearing methods that cause significant morphological changes, compromise the integrity of cell membranes, and reduce the signal of fluorescent proteins. Here, we demonstrate multifocal two-photon microscopy that enables imaging mesoscopic scattering samples in their native tissue environment at high resolution and high speed.

Temperature Variations

High-resolution 21-cm line observations in a region aroundlII= 120°,b11= +15°, have revealed four types of structure in the interstellar hydrogen: a smooth background, large sheets of density 2 atoms cm-3, clouds occurring mostly in groups, and ‘Cloudlets’ of a few solar masses and a few parsecs in size; the velocity dispersion in the Cloudlets is only 1 km/sec. Strong temperature variations in the gas are in evidence.

Constructive Criticism

Abstract The Hooks et al. review of microbiota-gut-brain (MGB) literature provides a constructive criticism of the general approaches encompassing MGB research. This commentary extends their review by: (a) highlighting capabilities of advanced systems-biology “-omics” techniques for microbiome research and (b) recommending that combining these high-resolution techniques with intervention-based experimental design may be the path forward for future MGB research.
