Micrograph: Keller et a./Nature Methods
Scientists have created a new technique to capture 3-D images of a developing
fruit fly embryo:
Order emerges from cellular tumult in this video of a developing
fruit fly embryo imaged with unprecedented cell-by-cell three-dimensional
detail.
The technique, called simultaneous multiview light-sheet microscopy,
illuminates a biological sample with thin sheets of light positioned
at the focal planes of multiple high-resolution digital cameras. Together
they collect 175 million voxels–the 3-D version of pixels–of
information per second. The photographs are then combined and assembled
to create a 3-D image.

here.
