Technology that can detect when nerve cells fire, which can be used to observe nerve activity in the eye as well as other light-accessible parts of the body, has been created by researchers at Stanford University, according to a press release from the National Eye Institute.
The noninvasive technology detects changes in shape in the nerve cells by interferometric imaging that senses alterations in the light passing through the cell or being reflected from its surface, the release said.
The interferometric microscope developed by the Stanford researchers collects 50,000 frames (Read more...)
