Adaptive optics, used by astronomers to sharpen images of celestial bodies, can now help scientists see with more depth and clarity into the living brain of a mouse. Eric Betzig, a group leader at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Janelia Farm Research Campus (Ashburn, VA), along with postdoctoral researcher Na Ji, have made strides in improving live brain imaging by combining adaptive optics with two-photon fluorescence microscopy
