3D Microscopy at the Speed of Life
<p><strong>How can we image living brain cells in 3D—without freezing, staining, or harming them?</strong> In this episode, physicist and optics innovator <strong>Prof. Humeyra Caglayan</strong> joins host <strong>Dr. Pranoti Kshirsagar</strong> to discuss <em>snapshot 3D microscopy</em>—a breakthrough technology combining <strong>meta-optics</strong>, <strong>real-time image reconstruction</strong>, and <strong>volumetric imaging</strong>.</p><p><br /></p><p>You’ll learn how this method enables fast, non-invasive 3D imaging of living tissues, from zebrafish brains to cardiac cells—opening new frontiers in <strong>biomedical imaging</strong>, <strong>neuroscience</strong>, and even <strong>surgical diagnostics</strong>.</p><p><br /></p><p>This conversation connects <strong>optics, nanotechnology, software, and biology</strong> in a powerful interdisciplinary story of innovation.</p><p><br /></p><p>🎙 A Science Talk original podcast.
