Histology involves the observation of structural features in tissues using a microscope. While diffraction-limited optical microscopes are commonly used histological investigations, their resolving capabilities insufficient to visualize details at subcellular level. Although novel set super-resolution microscopy techniques can fulfill resolution demands such cases, system complexity, high operating cost, lack multi-modality, and low-throughput imaging these methods limit wide adoption for...
Abstract Extracellular matrix diseases like fibrosis are elusive to diagnose early on, avoid complete loss of organ function or even cancer progression, making diagnosis crucial. Imaging the densities proteins collagen in fixed tissue sections with suitable stains and labels is a standard for staging. However, fine changes density difficult realize by conventional histological staining microscopy as fibrils finer than resolving capacity these microscopes. The dyes further blur outline add...
