Unlike higher-resolution techniques, light microscopes can image biological structures without killing them or chemically fixing them. At Harvard, the resurgence of light microscopy is making it possible to see structures and events that have never before been seen in the context of living cells and organisms.” Also don't miss the <a href="http://harvardmagazine.com/web/extras/lights-microscopes">video samples</a> of “in vivo” imagining. tag:metafilter.com,2008:site.70978 Sat, 19 Apr 2008 08:02:37 -0800 biology cellbiology cells imaging light microscopes microscopy science Frankieist http://www.metafilter.com/36077/I%2Dwant%2DLife%2DFr "We have <a href="http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/2004/07.22/14-yeast.html">[a substance]</a> that extends the life of every species it's given to.
