About This Webinar
A novel new form of ultraviolet microscopy has been developed, called metabolic light absorption, scattering, and emission (Meta-LASE) microscopy, which enables the simultaneous imaging of optical absorption, scattering, and autofluorescence from endogenous chromophores at spatial resolutions below 400nm and with imaging speeds of 7 min/cm2. Absorption contrast is achieved in deep tissue using ultraviolet photoacoustic remote sensing microscopy to provide positive nuclei contrast.
Deep learning methods enhance these techniques and help achieve virtual histology imaging with close concordance to traditional histology images. By collecting autofluorescence from NADH, FAD, and collagen, it becomes possible to achieve additional molecular specificity beyond H&E histology, to include the optical redox ratio, which is a ratio of fluorescence intensity, co-registered with histological details.
