Imaging the retina with DIY microscopes

Tom Baden is a professor in the field of systems neuroscience, based at the University of Sussex (UK). Baden’s lab is particularly interested in using different imaging techniques to investigate the visual processing of individual and groups of neurons in the retina and brain of different model organisms. In this interview, from this year’s Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS) Forum, Baden discusses the different imaging techniques used in his research, including two-photon microscopy, and the benefits of customizing lab equipment. Please give an overview of your research and the projects carried out in your lab. In general, our research...
