Team at Nagoya University develops „ClearSee“ technology to render plant material transparent

The technology is based on the removal of chlorophyll by a chemical reagent. After irradiation with fluorescent light, It allows to visualize tagged plant structures such as proteins, pollen tubes etc. by a confocal microscope once these structures have been tagged by dyes or by coexpression of fluorescent proteins such as GFP.
