Team enlarges brain samples, making them easier to image Posted: 15 Jan 2015 12:29 PM PST Researchers have discovered a method that enlarges tissue samples by embedding them in a polymer that swells when water is added. This technique, which uses inexpensive, commercially available chemicals and microscopes commonly found in research labs, should give many more scientists access to super-resolution imaging, the researchers say.
