Researchers in the US have teamed with a company named VisionGate and developed a new visualization tool for single cells that can create interactive 3D Visualizations.
The new microscope is known by the trademarked name Cell CT because it works similarly to a CT scan, though on a very small scale.
In a CT scan, the patient is immobile while the X-ray machine rotates.
In the Cell CT microscope, each cell is embedded in a special gel inside a glass tube that rotates in front of a fixed camera that takes many pictures per rotation.
via 3-D Visualization of Cells Through Microscope may Revolutionize Cancer Detection.
