Improved method for MR microscopy of brain tissue cultured with the interface method combined with Lenz lenses

MR in microscopy can non-invasively image the morphology of living tissue, which is of particular interest in studying the mammalian brain. Many studies use live animals for basic research on brain functions, disease pathogenesis, and drug development. However, in vitro systems are on the rise, due to advantages such as the absence of a blood-brain barrier, predictable pharmacokinetics, and reduced ethical restrictions. Hence, they present an inexpensive and adequate technique to answer scientific questions and to perform drug screenings.
