Optical Tomography Moves to Developmental Biology

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Faculty and students at Harvey Mudd College in Claremont, Calif., are using optical coherence tomography technology to capture three-dimensional movies of developing cell systems. Conventional methodologies typically employ a scanning electron microscope, which requires that the subject be dead. The optical coherence microscope uses a near-IR superluminescent diode to emit approximately 850-nm light that can produce images from as deep within a live subject as 1 mm without causing damage. Similar technology is used among ophthalmologists for scanning patients' retinas, and in other...Read full article
