Expanding the Bag of Optical Tricks for Neuroscience

Summary

1. Seeing is believing and thus, optical imaging techniques are extremely useful to study brain structure and function.
2. I will present two projects aimed at providing the neuroscience community with better imaging instrumentation: These range from open-source light-sheet microscopes for imaging cleared tissue to novel multi-immersion microscope objectives that take inspiration from scallops and astronomical telescopes.
