Published purpose

There is a desperate need for a fast, non-contact, non-invasive, safe and accurate technique that can measure oxygen saturation, oxygen metabolic activity, and multilayered histology-like information. Quickly acquiring in-situ microscope images of disease morphology and oxygen metabolic activity can play a vital role in understanding, and better treating, several diseases including cancers and vision loss. We aim to develop a rapid label-free clinical imaging tool that can visualize tissue structure by leveraging our PARS™ technology. This is carried out in collaboration with clinicians and our optical technical development team.
