Invention:
This technology is a novel microscope that uses the chromatic slit confocal detection with chromatic light sheet illumination to improve the image resolution and contrast over a large imaging depth.
Background:
Deep tissue imaging is important for detecting and diagnosing epithelial diseases. Current scanning systems are bulky, expensive, and complex. To create a low cost hand held imaging system, a chromatic light sheet microscope with other features is to be used to provide enhanced and volumetric images.
Applications:
Advantages:
- Ease of use
- Inexpensive
- Portable/hand held
- Enhanced imagery
- Axial and volumetric imaging capabilities
