Imaging microscopy is one of the methods by which we see things on the cellular and molecular level, discovering processes that might elude our detection with other techniques.

Scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory have taken Brillouin microscopy, a non-invasive but low power and inefficient method and amped it up to speedy high resolution capabilities for the study of embryos.
