Scientists at the Technion, Israel's Institute of Technology, have developed a new method for 3D imaging of nanometric processes inside living cells while they are moving, which will increase ease in assessing population attributes, diagnosing medical conditions, and testing new drugs, according to a press release from the university.
Asst. Prof. Yoav Shechtman of the
Faculty of Biomedical Engineering, who headed the research project, re-engineered an existing imagining machine of high value, creating a new machine that produces 3D images of 1,000 cells per minute. The research was also led by postdoctoral researcher Dr. Lucien E. Weiss, with the team publishing their results in the academic journal
Nature Nanotechnology.
