Researchers at the EMBL in Germany have developed a new technique in Brillouin microscopy that speeds up image creation by a factor of 1000.
Their technique enables the study of viscoelastic properties of biological samples more quickly and with less damage.
The field of view of image acquisition has increased to roughly 10,000 pixels at a speed of 0.1 Hz, a significant improvement compared to standard confocal techniques.
The researchers hope this advancement will lead to more widespread use of Brillouin microscopy in the life sciences field.
