Improved Pathological Examination of Tumors with 3D Light-Sheet Microscopy

Per Uhlén et al. Trends Cancer. 2018 May.

Abstract

Light-sheet microscopy offers new possibilities to efficiently visualize large tissue samples in three dimensions. Volumetric 3D imaging can uncover detailed information about the inner landscape of tumors, which can improve cancer diagnosis and therapy. This Forum article highlights the advantages of using light-sheet microscopy for pathological examinations of intact tumor specimens.
