Microscopy & Microtechniques
Latest microscopy method offers video-rate cell visualisation
Dec 06 2010
Using stimulated Raman scattering, the latest microscopy technique to be developed by scientists at the academic institution is a means by which blood cells can be pictured passing through capillaries.
At present, surgery to remove lesions and tumours incurs a delay of around 20 minutes while excised samples are sent away for histological processing.
However, with real-time imaging, the Harvard experts believe this delay could be removed, or substantially shortened.
X Sunney Xie, one of the leaders of the project, says: "When we started this project 11 years ago, we never imagined we'd have an amazing result like this."
Harvard University says that its spectrum of learning experiences encompasses a broad range of both social and academic disciplines, with a "dedication to the pursuit of excellence" guiding its activities.
