Laser Will (Perhaps) See Cochlear Cilia

EPFL (A world renowned Swiss engineering school) and Harvard medical school have teamed to develop a novel nondestructive means of seeing the cilia. Not a lot of info in the press release.

A very interesting development. I hope they are able to pull this off as this could be the start of new era of understanding for Tinnitus and hearing loss.

Great find Daedalus

 

What happened with this??

 

The same as with all the others. Dead. Maybe in 20 years we will have something.

 

They have been building up a team.

 

Really? Why there's no news about it? Did you contact them?

This tech is also from Harvard. I would think that they are related after reading the following:

"To address these challenges, Betzig and colleagues combined two technologies: lattice light sheet microscopy, which Betzig developed in the early 2010s, and adaptive optics, a technique borrowed from astronomy."

But I could be mistaken.

 

If this is true then they should be able to use this to see inside of all kinds of other stuff.
