First 3D image from the Bessel Beam

5/11/2014

 
By Arisaka
The first 3D image by the Bessel Beam Sheet Illumination has been performed successfully, using the whole mouse brain of Clarity. This is 1 mm x 1 mm x 200 um of 3D volume. 
Picture
Three key members,  Blake, Paul and Steve, are standing in front of the Bessel Beam system, after successful 3D imaging.

Electrotaxis under way

5/11/2014

 
By Arisaka
We have moved the Electrotaxis experiment to the best optical table at Knudsen B-171. Here Taejoon is timing the camera's switch to take another round of data. 
Picture
Below is one of the runs with 8 V/cm electric field. It is 10x faster than real. HV was off at the beginning, then then turn on and off.   Clear electrotaxis towards right (= negative) with +/- 60 degree opening angle are observed.  When HV is off, they retract backwards for a moment, followed by the omega turn.
