🔬👁️This #ClearEye protocol (LSFM) not only looks pretty neat, but being able to explore ocular structures in 3D like this can be a histological surrogate. Love it! #LightSheetFluorescenceMicroscopy #mesoSPIM Paper from Institut de la Vision here: nature.com/articles/s4200…

This work has been a long time coming and a great MK team effort in collaboration with DYNAFLUORS and Charles Lochenie. Exciting to show one antimicrobial photosensitiser against bacteria, fungi, biofilms, hyphae, MDR pathogens and ex vivo keratitis models.
