Our conference paper describing how to visualize myelin using refractive index tomography (or as I simply call it 3D phase microscopy) is out. In collaboration with Dr. Fatih Toy, we can observe unlabeled myelin by the changes in refractive index caused by wrapping of the axons on a microscope built by Dr. Toy. We hope that this will lead to quicker and better evaluation of myelination opening new avenues for studying myelin and myelination diseases.
