Redesigned Scale Objective Lens
THORNWOOD, N.Y., Feb. 21, 2012 — The redesigned plan-apochromatic 20×/1.0 VIS-IR objective lens from Carl Zeiss Microscopy LLC makes it possible to acquire 3-D images of nerve cells down to depths of 5.6 mm in intact tissue using a confocal laser scanning or multiphoton microscope, without having to section the brain.
This enables 3-D visualization of the branches of individual nerve cells and imaging of their connections. In untreated tissue, penetration depth is now five to 10 times more than that achievable with...
