NSF Establishes National Biological Observatory for High-Resolution 3D Imaging
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has allocated $19 million to create the National Connectomics and Ultrastructure Volume Observatory (NCUVO). This new facility will provide high-resolution 3D biological imaging, making intricate life structures accessible to a broader scientific community. This initiative could lead to significant advancements in basic biology and understanding neurodegenerative diseases.
