Two Applications for Spectroscopic Imaging
Label-free imaging using intrinsic signals can be used to examine the behavior of molecular species in live cells. Ji-Xin Chen, a professor a Purdue University and the recipient of the 2015 Coblentz Society Craver Award, develops label-free imaging technologies to monitor cellular states on a microsecond scale and to diagnose cardiovascular disease. He recently spoke to us about two of his recent studies. |
