Check out Nature Neuroscience in 36 hrs from now! I can't say anything (embargo), except that it solves a question that has been on my mind for 31 years.

Proud of my alumna Francesca Catto for founding IMAI, a biotech revolutionizing histopathology. By replacing microtomes and glass slides with direct 3D imaging, IMAI eliminates the bottlenecks constraining pathology since 200 years! imai-medtech.com
