BBC News - 'Light sheets' image life in 3D

BBC News - 'Light sheets' image life in 3D: "A report in Nature Methods describes how 'light sheets' allow researchers to take images of cellular processes in action, in unprecedented detail.

These slivers of light illuminate just the part of a living cell that is in focus, and 3D images are made from many of these thin planes stacked up.

The approach could provide a previously unachievable view of living things."
