FEATURES
Advances in Multiphoton Microscopy A look at some of the latest work in multiphoton microscopy shows that advances in the technique are enabling new images and research, including uncovering the workings of muscle and the growth of bone. Other advances in technology show that, although you can’t be in two places at once, you almost can pull off the feat through multifocal multiphoton microscopy. This diagram of a growing bone...
Dental X-Ray Imaging Goes Digital Recent advances in digital radiographic imaging technology are changing the practice of dentistry. Digital panoramic and intraoral imaging provide instant access to adjustable high-quality images...
Early Cancer Detection with Fluorophores That Target the Folate Receptor All it takes is one tumor cell circulating through the bloodstream to turn a manageable tumor into metastatic disease, and just one tumor cell can cause cancer to recur in patients who have received...
