3D Microscopy at the Speed of Life

from Under the Microscope · host The Science Talk

How can we image living brain cells in 3D—without freezing, staining, or harming them? In this episode, physicist and optics innovator Prof. Humeyra Caglayan joins host Dr. Pranoti Kshirsagar to discuss snapshot 3D microscopy—a breakthrough technology combining meta-optics, real-time image reconstruction, and volumetric imaging.You’ll learn how this method enables fast, non-invasive 3D imaging of living tissues, from zebrafish brains to cardiac cells—opening new frontiers in biomedical imaging, neuroscience, and even surgical diagnostics.This conversation connects optics, nanotechnology, software, and biology in a powerful interdisciplinary story of innovation.🎙 A Science Talk original podcast.
