A new way of seeing

3D Image Examples

Images below illustrate the sort of investigations possible using the EX1301 OCT Microscope.

Those below were captured by the Biophotonics Group at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital as part of their ongoing work with the MDL EX1301 Microscope System, and are reproduced with their kind permission.

The sample shown above and below is a cervical specimen removed because of CIN2 identified on a previous biopsy. The sample had a lesion close to the cervical canal, and the volume shown above covers the entrance of the canal (that's why it looks like a crater).

CIN2/3 is a pre-cancerous condition justifying treatment as it is at high risk of progressing to cancer. Our clinical collaborators await the histopathology results to confirm lesion status. More information will be added here as it becomes available.
