Applications

• Endoscopy and microscopy
• Minimally invasive imaging
• In vivo imaging
• Image guidance in surgical or non-surgical applications
• Pharmaceutical research
• Clinical diagnostics such as an optical biopsy or an optical histology

Advantages

• Enables three-dimensional imaging of deep layers in biological specimen.
• Portable imaging microscopy or endoscopy, that allows in vivo biological imaging of a protein, a drug, a sequence of DNA, or certain molecule.
• Enables the imaging of cells deep within the live animal brain.
