Division Jochen Guck “Cell #physics”

With optical diffraction tomography (ODT) scientists can quantify mass density distribution. The technique reveals details in each individual cell, such as nuclei, nucleoli, and mitochondria. Neighboring cells link ‘hands’ – their membranes and filopodia. Scientists at #MPZPM and #MPL have developed novel #microscopy techniques to study the mass density changes of cells under various conditions.
