New Microscope Watches Cells in 3D

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the still-not-available-for-peepers dept.

Jamie found a story about a new 3D Microscope which creates 3D videos of cells in action. Traditionally scientists have had to choose between high resolution and animation, so no doubt this device will cure the common cold.

      These must be those "viral internet videos" I've heard so much about.

    If it's cured it won't be common anymore, will it?

    Ohhhh, I wondered how they did that cool inside-the-body stuff in "House M.D."

    Seriously though, this is Big Medicine. I know a couple of guys researching treatments for congenital pancreatic cancer who would kill to get their hands on something like this.

      I hope by that you just mean to kill cells.

      You should have seen their research-grant application. It was just a horse's head.

      When it gets to a nickle, maybe I'll just buy the whole damned company and turn it into something else... like a tax write-off ;-) or maybe into an application software house doing commercial linux apps that could take it to the desktop in 09...

      or maybe just a tax write-off.
