In botany, a scape is a peduncle arising from a subterranean or very compressed stem, with the lower internodes very long and hence few or no bracts except the part near the rachis or receptacle. [1] Typically it takes the form of a long, leafless flowering stem rising directly from a bulb , rhizome , or similar subterranean or underwater ...

Mar 7, 2019 · SCAPE’s ingenuity lies in being able to both project and detect this moving light sheet through a single, stationary objective lens. SCAPE delivers 3D-imaging speeds that are up to 500 times faster than conventional microscopes that scan objects point by point.

Garlic scapes, the edible, immature flowering stems of the garlic plant; Gaming

Swept, Confocally-Aligned Planar Excitation (SCAPE) microscopy is a technique for high-speed 3D microscopy in living organisms. SCAPE can image intact living samples including the intact mouse brain and freely moving organisms such as Drosophila melanogaster larvae and the zebrafish heart at up to 300 volumes per second through a single ...

Sep 27, 2019 · Here, we combine high-speed intensified camera technology with a versatile, reconfigurable and dramatically improved Swept, Confocally Aligned Planar Excitation (SCAPE) microscope design that can...

Dec 5, 2019 · The SCAPE 2.0 paper shows the system’s biological versatility by also recording the beating heart of a zebrafish embryo at record-breaking speeds. In addition, SCAPE 2.0 can rapidly image large fixed, cleared, and expanded tissues such as the retina, brain, and spinal cord—enabling tracing of the shape and connectivity of cellular circuits.

Sep 27, 2019 · In collaboration with scientists from around the world, they used SCAPE 2.0 to reveal previously unseen details of living creatures — from neurons firing inside a wriggling worm to the 3D dynamics of the beating heart of a fish embryo, with far superior resolution and at speeds up to 30 times faster than their original demonstration.

Nov 8, 2016 · SCAPE’s unique capabilities allow scientists to perform fundamentally new kinds of experiments, from imaging individual neurons firing throughout the brain of adult fruit flies, to tracking calcium waves through cells in the beating heart of a zebrafish.

Jul 27, 2018 · We investigated the anatomical characters of the scape in 12 species of this complex and its allies representing four recognized sections, viz Compactoprason, Megaloprason, Procerallium and Pseudoprason, and evaluated their systematic importance.
