Simple light trick reveals hidden brain pathways in microscopic detail

Microscopic fibers secretly shape how every organ in the body works, yet theyve been notoriously hard to study-until now. A new imaging technique called ComSLI reveals hidden fiber orientations in stunning detail using only a rotating LED light and simple microscopy equipment. It works on any tissue slide, from fresh samples to those more than a century old, allowing scientists to uncover microstructural changes in disorders like Alzheimers and even explore the architecture of muscle, bone, and ...
