Automated microscope gives scientists a look inside live cell populations

From now on scientists can look at how living cells function and react under various experimental conditions, in parallel and throughout a the cell’s lifetime. With the new 3D microscope unveiled today by EPFL spin-off Nanolive, researchers can observe the details of how cells operate – all the way down to their organelles. What’s more, the microscope is fully automated and doesn’t damage the cells being studied.
