Welcome back to Neuroverse, this week we bring to you the second episode in our mini-series "Tools for Looking into the Brain", where we explore the diversity of experimental methods used to study the brain's structure and function. In this episode, we discuss the basic principles of fluorescence microscopy and how it can help us understand the brain. We explore how we can make cells of the brain fluorescent in the first place, and the different types of microscopes that are used to visualise and image this fluorescence, from widefield to confocal to 2-photon microscopes! We also discussed the advantages of each microscopy technique, and explored some examples of research studies that have taken advantage of them.
