On Nov 13, 2009, Shiguo Zhou (left) and David C. Schwartz look at the path that blue laser light follows — through focusing optics and beam splitters — before leading to one of their automated research microscopes in the Laboratory for Molecular and Computational Genomics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Schwartz’s research team uses such a microscope to optically map the DNA genome sequence of corn, also known as maize. Schwartz is a professor of genetics and chemistry, and Zhou is an associate scientist in chemistry at the Biotechnology Center.
