Very proud to see this published today in @naturemethods. We combine 3P microscopy, indirect adaptive optics and ECG gating to improve spatial resolution in challenging deep brain imaging conditions. Wonderful collaboration with @Agarwalneurolab & @Cornhelix.
Out today from the @Prevedel_Lab at @embl: The combination of adaptive optics with 3P microscopy and ECG-triggered gating allows high-resolution imaging of neurons and astrocytes up to 1.4 mm deep in the mouse brain.

An exciting advancement in Brillouin microscopy!
This new microscopy method developed by the @Prevedel_Lab allows to capture 3D images quickly enough for live-organism observation.
The article is also available in Italian: embl.org/news/science-techno…
An EMBL-engineered advance has pushed forward Brillouin microscopy to allow for faster, more efficient study of live organisms.
The 1,000-fold improvement in speed and throughput provides a way to view light-sensitive organisms more efficiently.

📣Wanna hear our story about the complex mechanical dynamics that cell populations undergo during the most important morphogenetic event? -Of course I am talking about gastrulation 🙂🤘. Join us this Wed at 10:00 CET, details -> @VGZT2020_21 @Prevedel_Lab
Check out this great write-up about our mobile Optical Coherence Microscope (OCM) and how it contributed to @embl's TREC expedition across Europe! 🔬🚚🐠
EMBL’s Prevedel Group scaled down a microscope to miniature size while scaling up imaging resolution. 🔬
Mobile OCM is a portable microscope to image label-free samples, with different magnifications and operating within fractions of a second.
