(this is from 2021)

From the "imaging of a healthy human brain" video description I thought "wait is this in vivo", but no, it is very ex vivo. But wow, to get that kind of resolution over that large a field-of-view is far far beyond what regular clinical and even industrial CT can do.

Video seems to be from here https://mecheng.ucl.ac.uk/hip-ct/gallery/


From the video description:

> HiP-CT is a new technique that can hierarchically image intact whole human organs. Beginning with a scan of the whole organ at the resolution of a human hair (25μm/voxel), followed by zooming in to any area at a resolution of 1/10th a human hair (6μm/voxel), and finally zooming in again to a resolution where we can see single cells (1.5μm/voxel).
