A new three-dimensional microscope arrived at the university's Homewood campus this spring, a cutting-edge tool that not only condenses what had been months of work into just hours, but allows researchers unprecedented views of organs, tissue, and even live specimens. "It feels so amazing to see the brain in a way that no one has ever seen it before," Hopkins neuroscientist Audrey Branch said. "It's pretty much the greatest thing I've ever experienced in science."
