TL;DR: A new microscope using ultrathin light sheets derived from two-dimensional optical lattices is developed, demonstrating the performance advantages of lattice light-sheet microscopy compared with previous techniques and highlighted phenomena that, when seen at increased spatiotemporal detail, may hint at previously unknown biological mechanisms.

TL;DR: AO-LLSM takes high-resolution live-cell imaging of subcellular processes from the confines of the coverslip to the more physiologically relevant 3D environment within whole transparent organisms and creates new opportunities to study the phenotypic diversity of intracellular dynamics, extracellular communication, and collective cell behavior across different cell types, organisms, and developmental stages.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates the trapping and rotation of nanoparticles using a template-stripped plasmonic nanopillar incorporating a heat sink, and demonstrates the stable trapping of polystyrene particles, as small as 110 nm in diameter.

TL;DR: A novel volume imaging and 3D tracking technique that monitors whole brain neural activity in freely swimming larval zebrafish (Danio rerio) and demonstrates the capability of the system through functional imaging of neural activity during visually evoked and prey capture behaviors in larvalZebrafish.

TL;DR: Using a descanned, laser-induced guide star and direct wavefront sensing, the authors demonstrate adaptive correction of complex optical aberrations at high numerical aperture (NA) and a 14-ms update rate.
