Two separate eye diseases may contribute to common blinding eye condition #AMD https://www.mountsinai.org/about/newsroom/2023/mount-sinai-researchers-first-to-identify-that-two-separate-eye-diseases-may-contribute-to-common-blinding-eye-condition "These two diseases could be diagnosed, studied, and treated separately with appropriate early intervention to prevent vision loss and other complications"; #autofluorescence

How beautiful a plant louse is, when imaged under the microscope. This #multiphoton #autofluorescence stack was excited with 820 nm laserline and captured with a 20x objective lens. The acquisition of the whole Z-stack of 117 micrometer thickness and 45 Z-steps was done in about 30s due to the fast resonant scanner of the #Nikon #AXR MP.
