In order to learn more about our organs such as the brain, as well as cancerous tumors, scientists have been trying to get detailed 3D views inside our bodies — views so detailed that they will be able to identify blood vessels and cell types. But doing this is far from easy, and it takes a lot of time.
Now, dramatic improvements to a 3D imaging technique can reveal the internal components of entire organs or even animals in a simple procedure, researchers report this week.
Scientists were able to take a peek inside a mouse’s brain using this new staining method, which could help in many scientific fields.
