Caption: On Nov. 13, 2009, David C. Schwartz, professor of genetics and chemistry, explains how his research team uses automated microscopes to optically map the DNA genome sequence of corn, also known as maize, in the Laboratory for Molecular and Computational Genomics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Caption: On Nov 13, 2009, a blue laser light follows a path -- through focusing optics and beam splitters -- before leading to an automated research microscope in David C. Schwartz's 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.

Caption: On Nov 13, 2009, a computer monitor displays a fragment of DNA being recorded by an automated research microscope in David C. Schwartz's Laboratory for Molecular and Computational Genomics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Schwartz's research team used such a microscope to capture and individually analyze nearly 80 million fragments as they optically mapped the DNA genome sequence of corn, also known as maize. Schwartz is a professor of genetics and chemistry.
