Miniature microscope allows biomedical researchers to observe tissue deep inside live subjects

A team of Stanford University scientists and engineers has developed a miniature microscope that will allow researchers to observe nerve cells and capillaries deep inside living subjects. The new device, called a two-photon microendoscope, is less than 1.5 inches long and weighs about one-tenth of an ounce. It was designed in the laboratory of Mark Schnitzer, assistant professor of biological sciences and of applied physics.
