New Microscopy Technique Allows Mapping Protein Synthesis in Living Tissues and Animals

Caption

Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy imaging of synthesis of the new proteins by targeting carbon-deuterium bond (C-D) and degradation of the old proteins by targeting methyl group (CH3) in mouse brain tissue (the dentate gyrus region of the hippocampus).
