The eye of a mouse is a window to its bloodstream. At least thatÃs what a group of researchers found from the Wellman Center for Photomedicine, which is affiliated with Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. They built a flow cytometer that can trace fluorescently tagged cells through the blood vessels of a mouse retina (Opt. Lett. 32, 3450).
