New Label-Free Imaging Technique Set to Revolutionize Biomedical Imaging

New Label-Free Imaging Technique Set to Revolutionize Biomedical Imaging

The key to this new chemical imaging technique is the use of two lasers with different frequencies. Researchers visualize samples by tuning the laser frequencies to match the vibrational frequency of a specific chemical bond. Each type of molecule within a sample, including nutrients or drugs, is detectable at a unique frequency.
