Fluorescence Microtomography

Fluorescence microtomography is a non-invasive imaging technique used to create detailed 3D maps of biological samples. It works by shining a specific type of light on a sample that contains fluorescent markers—substances that glow when illuminated. As these markers emit light at different locations, specialized detectors capture the emitted signals from multiple angles. Computer algorithms then reconstruct these signals into a three-dimensional image, revealing the distribution of the fluorescent markers within the sample. This method allows scientists to visualize and study internal structures and processes in complex tissues or materials with high precision.
