Angelucci and her colleagues used the technology to stream 3-D images of a primate's visual cortex. They paired this tool with a neuroscience technique called CLARITY, which makes surrounding brain tissue transparent. (CLARITY was developed by NSF-funded researchers in 2013.) Shown here is a brain becoming transparent, thanks to CLARITY.
