This paper represents an excellent advance in biological imaging. Instead of correcting the image by post-processing the data, the authors' goal is to correct the data collection by compensating for image degradation by the optical imperfections of the specimen.

Science. 296:2002;541-545. This study represents a major improvement in the optical collection of microscopic images without the need for sectioning. Tomography allows a large number of images from a fixed and cleared specimen to be assembled into a high-resolution 3D rendering of the specimen.
