The new polarized light microscope (Pol-Scope) developed by Rudolf Oldenbourg is now available commercially and has been crucial to the group's ability to obtain its exciting new results. Long-time BioCurrents Research Center collaborator David Keefe became the MBL's newest resident scientist in December of 1996. Keefe is Director of the Laboratory for Reproductive Medicine. Brown University and Women and Infants' Hospital and investigates the mechanisms that may cause age-related female infertility. Using his advanced equipment and techniques with those in the laboratories of Peter Smith and Rudolf Oldenbourg. Keefe is searching for ways to determine the viability of egg cells. His ultimate goal is to enable women to make more informed choices about the reproductive therapies available to them. Ferenc Harosi and his colleagues expanded upon earlier studies on how fish detect polarized light. During the past year they demonstrated that light reflection upon a dielectric partition may be the optical basis for polarized light detection. Harosi has also been working with Jeffrey Van Keuren on the development of vision in codfish. The Calcium Imaging Laboratory has focused upon pattern formation of early brains and hearts in the zebrafish and the dorsoventral axis in On the theoretical front, Lionel Jaffe has recently recognized a new class of calcium waves which he calls ultraslow waves. Observations of such waves include those waves which help organize the nervous system in Xenopus and the eye in Drosop/iiln. Slimmer research The MBL remains
