Visualizing the beating heart in Drosophila.

26 Sep 2009 The Drosophila heart has recently emerged as a good model system for examining the genetic, cellular, and molecular mechanisms underlying function in myogenic hearts. A key step in examining heart function in the fly is finding a way to access the ... Read more...

Semi-automated Optical Heartbeat Analysis of small hearts.

14 Sep 2009 We have developed a method for analyzing high speed optical recordings from Drosophila, zebrafish and embryonic mouse hearts (Fink, et. al., 2009). Our Semi-automatic Optical Heartbeat Analysis (SOHA) uses a novel movement detection algorithm that ... Read more...

High-resolution ocular imaging: combining advanced optics and microtechnology.

30 Aug 2009 Recent developments in imaging technologies offer great potential for the assessment of retinal ganglion cell disorders, with particular relevance to glaucoma. In particular, advances in this field have allowed unprecedented in vivo access to the ... Read more...
