The
latest microscopy method to be reported by Harvard University offers a real-time insight into the inner workings of cells and the human circulatory system.
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.
