Hari Shroff: Taking a closer look
نویسنده
چکیده
JCB • VOLUME 214 • NUMBER 4 • 2016 360 Hari Shroff was born in India, but grew up in England and the US. He became interested in animals and plants at an early age—his parents would take Shroff and his brother out to local parks, fi elds, and woods—and he has vivid memories of trying to raise tadpoles in jars and being fascinated by reptiles and amphibians. In one of his earliest scientifi c experiments, for a 5th grade science fair, Shroff went to the local dentist to obtain teeth extracted from patients and attempted to test the effect of different sodas and juices on the teeth. Shroff’s interests have since gone well beyond reptiles and tooth decay. Now with his own group at the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, Shroff is developing novel imaging tools to more closely study cell biological processes, including neurodevelopment in the nematode worm. We contacted him to learn more.

متن کاملAdvances in the speed and resolution of light microscopy.
Neurobiological processes occur on spatiotemporal scales spanning many orders of magnitude. Greater understanding of these processes therefore demands improvements in the tools used in their study. Here we review recent efforts to enhance the speed and resolution of one such tool, fluorescence microscopy, with an eye toward its application to neurobiological problems. On the speed front, improv...
