Interview with scientists at the NIH, Dr. Hari Shroff, Lab Chief of NIBIB's High Resolution Optical Imaging Lab and Dr. Andrew York.

Using a new kind of microscope they invented, Dr. Shroff and his team are able to film worm embryos as they form over the course of 14 hours. They are able to track neurons as the cells move through the embryo and hope that this work will eventually be able to teach them more about the development of life.
