We have developed a new high-resolution optical imaging technology. The unique aspect of our research has been to redesign the imaging probe, miniaturising it to a few hundred microns in diameter, and encase it in a hypodermic needle – a ‘microscope-in-a-needle’. We are developing specific imaging probes to aid in the assessment of lung disease; the diagnosis of liver disease; and integrated into a brain biopsy needle to enable safer brain biopsies.

我们开发了一种新的高分辨率光学成像技术。我们研究的独特之处在于重新设计了成像探针，将其缩小到直径几百微米，并将其封装在皮下注射针中——一种“针中显微镜”。我们正在开发特定的成像探针，以帮助评估肺部疾病；肝病的诊断；并集成到脑活检针中，以实现更安全的脑活检。
