Laser imaging peers deeper into living tissue

Metabolic imaging is a valuable noninvasive method for studying living cells with laser light, but it’s been constrained by the way light scatters when it shines into tissue, limiting the resolution and depth of penetration. MIT researchers have developed a new technique that more than doubles the usual depth limit while boosting imaging speeds, yielding richer and more detailed images. This technique does not require samples to be sliced and st…
