A tribute to Shinya Inoue and innovation in light microscopy

The 2003 International Prize for Biology was awarded to Shinya Inoue for his pioneering work in visualizing dynamic processes within living cells using the light microscope. He and his scientific descendants are now pushing light microscopy even further by developing new techniques such as imaging single molecules, visualizing processes in living animals, and correlating results from light and ...

Shinya Inoué: Lighting the way in microscopy

W hen light passes through cells, it is slowed ever so slightly by its encounters with transparent proteins and organelles. The microtubule-based mitotic spindle retards light by a mere 1/100 th of its wavelength, creating constructive and destructive interference patterns that can be observed with specialized optics (1, 2). In the early 1950s, Shinya Inoué used this principle to design a polar...

1 Penultimate Draft - January - now in press Plenum

2 Summary/Abstract In science today, the study of behavior seems to be something someone does to get to somewhere else. Behavior affords a gateway to physiology, neuroscience, and genetics. The quality of such integrative work thus begins and ends with the quality of knowledge about behavior. How do we assay behavioral quality and its integrative potential? We ask this question because we belie...
