Olympus has hosted a symposium in conjunction with the meeting of the Society for Neuroscience (SfN).
The symposium, which was held yesterday in New Orleans, focused on new developments in functional imaging and brain mapping on a microscopic level.
Topics included connectomics imaging- a technique that helps scientists map the brain and other organs in detail, usually using fixed tissue.
Other current research methods focus on how living neurobiological tissues function.
Researchers discussed ways that pairing these two kinds of studies may help shed light on life processes in both fixed and live applications.
Olympus is currently exhibiting equipment for neuroscience applications at Booth 1331 at the SfN meeting until the 17th of October.
Products on show include:
- IX3 inverted research imaging platform
- FluoView FV1200 laser scanning confocal microscope system
- FluoView FV1200MPE multiphoton imaging system with SCALEVIEW objectives
- LV200 luminescence imaging system
- CellVoyager CV1000 spinning disk confocal system
- VS120 digital slide scanning system
