Optical Clearing

Optical clearing is a technique used to make biological tissues, like skin or organs, more transparent. This is achieved by using special solutions that replace or modify the tissue's natural fluids, reducing light scattering within the tissue. As a result, scientists and doctors can see deeper into the tissue using imaging methods such as microscopy or medical scans. This process enhances visualization without physically damaging the tissue, aiding in research, diagnosis, and surgical guidance by providing clearer, more detailed views of internal structures.
