What does a zebrafish have to do with research into the human nervous system? And how can you visualize each of them?

Expensive, mostly white boxes in top research laboratories, such as a light sheet microscope, record data sets and provide an insight into the 3D structure of these model organisms. But what if everyone - even at home - could build such a device themselves? With UC2 (You.See.Too), it's almost as easy as putting together a LEGO house. The microscope, once significantly influenced by Carl Zeiss and Ernst Abbe in Jena, is becoming a powerful tool for everyone. See for yourself and understand optics.
