Scanning confocal near-infra-red microscopy: a new microscopy technique for three-dimensional histopathology.
11 November 1995
Abstract
To image microstructures within tissue in detail using conventional light microscopy it is necessary to process the tissue and obtain thin (/spl ap/5 /spl mu/m) physical sections by using destructive physical sectioning techniques. This article describes a microscopy technique, using near-infra-red light (700-1500 nm) as the source, which is able to image thin sections of thick-tissue specimens nondestructively. Images of contiguous two-dimensional thin sections obtained serially can be combined to generate a three-dimensional image of the structures being imaged.
