I am excited to share the first collaborative publication of my PhD titled "Nonlinear sound-sheet microscopy: Imaging opaque organs at the capillary and cellular scale"! It was an absolute honor and pleasure to work with Baptiste Heiles, David Maresca and the other authors on this beautiful project.
