A new microscope lens that offers the unique combination of a large field of view with high resolution has been created by researchers in the UK. The new "mesolens" for confocal microscopes can create 3D images of much larger biological samples than was previously possible – while providing detail at the sub-cellular level. According to the researchers, the ability to view whole specimens in a single image could assist in the study of many biological processes and ensure that important details are not overlooked.
