Description

A key problem in microscopy is that when the light shines on a biological sample, such as a slice of brain tissue, light waves hit the cells and bounce off in different directions. The larger the piece of tissue, the more interesting and diverse its collection of parts, which makes the light waves bend and scatter in unpredictable ways.
