In vivo cytometry: A spectrum of possibilities

We investigate whether optical imaging can reliably detect abnormalities in tissue, in a range of specimens (live cells in vitro; fixed, fresh ex‐vivo and in vivo tissue), without the use of added contrast agents, and review our promising spectral methods for achieving quantitative, real‐time, high resolution intrasurgical optical diagnostics.
